Hi all,  HH has just had his second set of post treatment tests (33  radios, 11 chemos over 10 weeks) .  The firsts set, bloods, CT and Mri got a green flag from our Baby-Onck ( a very young looking oncologist!).  2nd ones now underway...just had the bloods done. PET scan on 8th Oct. 

I have noted that his liver (ouria) one is 16 this time, it was 18 five months ago....should I be worried?  Also, his ORIGINAL tests, when they didn't know what he had at all, it was 33 !!! 

I can see he is now just out of normal range, although only just, any thoughts from anyone???

I am hoping that the changes reflect the treatment and disease he has HAD...not anything new & scary entering his liver??? 

His lymph results have definitely gone UP a bit in the 5 months, so I/we are taking heart from that...as those neck ones took an UTTER pounding!!!

His lymps before it all kicked off were 27, 5 months ago 13.4 and now crawling back up at 14.5

  • Hi. I can’t help much regarding those figures and none of us can really give a medical opinion. Why don’t you give the CNS a ring and ask ? 
    I never had any post treatment bloods so have nothing to compare. I had an MRI at ten weeks and a PET at sixteen. 
    Fingers crossed for his PET
