I wanted to post what we know so far. The results of my wife Anna's tests were much better than they could have been. It happens that she has a hypermetabolic mass in her left thyroid gland- which may or may not malignant. This was found by the PET scan. This scan is done by injecting radioactive glucose into the bloodstream. Cells upload the glucose for energy, but abnormal or cancerous cells upload glucose very fast as they are highly "metabolic", hence, they burn through the radioactive glucose very fast and store up the radioactivity in that area. A scan locates the concentrated are.She is scheduled today at 2:30 Central time to see a specialist. They will likely do some sort of biopsy. We praise God that there were no indications that any cancer cells had spread to lymph nodes. All past and future prayers are greatly appreciated!!God Bless,-Robert
