The appointment went as expected... Which is rare. His kidneys are still about the same, so he is still doing the same thing he has for the last month or so. They also said that in 2 weeks he will be getting a PET scan instead of his normal ct scans he gets. They don't want to risk damaging his kidneys anymore with the dye and the PET scan is supposed to be less toxic. This will be his first full body pet scan, and that is a little scary because we will be taking a look at areas we haven't before. But, we are praying everything is still the same as last time!!!!!
This blog is about our family journey that unfortunately involves melanoma. It is also a blog to help those with melanoma know what their treatments and procedures may be like as we experience it! It started January 2012 when Bennie was diagnosed with stage 4 Melanoma (after 8 years of thinking we had dodged a bullet when he was diagnosed with stage 1 in 2005)

End of Summer!
Here is Bennie and I at his last appointment at MD Anderson. We had to wait for two hours in the room.. so we got a little bored.
