Went to MD Anderson yesterday, met Dennis Dr. She seems to be very knowledgeable and was very patient with all the questions that we had. They are going to do a test on him called a PET scan. It is similar to a reg CT but they will inject a sugar substance in him and this substance will go throughout his body and wherever their is activity (where there is cancer it will light up red.) of course certain areas like your brain etc. will light up because of the activity in it. They want to make sure that the 2 masses that Dennis has and the lymph nodes are the only place he has cancer. The Dr. did tell us that it is very strange that Dennis has Squamous Cells because he does not smoke and not around 2nd hand smoke on a reg. bases. Plus usually it is in the upper part of the esophagus and Dennis is in the middle and lower. Anyhow they will decide what to do next after the PET scan. I will give you further info when I have it. He is in no pain just having a hard time swallowing some times and coughs. Please keep us in your daily prayers.
