We recently moved and I had to find new doctors. My new oncologist ordered a PET scan for me. Two doctors reviewed the results of my PET scan. The first one said the results were inconclusive. The second doctor said that there may be some evidence that my cancer has come back. I asked Mayo to review the reports. After looking over everything, Mayo scheduled me for a PET/MRI scan at the end of February. There has been no evidence of cancer for the past 5 1/2 years, so I am hoping that it was just a fluke with the scan. If the cancer has come back, I will not be able to proceed with a kidney transplant until the cancer has been addressed.

I am sitting here at Gonda 10 South at Mayo in Rochester. Had a PET/MRI done yesterday. This morning I was told that the test shows that after about 6 years my pancreatic cancer has come back. Waiting to meet with a surgeon to see what the next steps are. This puts any hopes for a kidney transplant on hold.

Praying for you
