Results from PET Scan

The PET scan took 3 hours and Dr. Lei came back with the results.

In our worst fears, the nodules show high metabolic activities which are indication of cancer. 


The positive thing is that there is no other abnormal metabolic activities in other parts of Dad's body including head/neck, chest wall and pleura, abdomen, pelvis, and bones / bone marrow.  Praise God!


In conclusion, Dr. Lei stated that based on his experience, the nodules are most likely tumor/cancer and recommended bronchoscopy next Tuesday to finalize the diagnosis. 

At a time like this, Dad and I found that the Bible verses and worship songs the most encouraging.  We now understand why God say His Words is life.  We play worship songs all day long to fight off the depressing thoughts.

  1. Jacqueline,

    Swanny and I have been praying for Gwohann continuously. We pray for God to deflect any tumor, any diseases and by His stripes Gwohann is healed. Swanny has an uncle whose wife had lung cancer about 10 years ago. She is healed now and is doing fine.

    God bless and stay strong.

  2. Dear Fen,

    Although the diagnosis is not finalized, I feel sad to know the possibility of GwoHann’s illness.

    I will explain the information to my family, and we will pray for GwoHann.

    Please don’t worry too much, and most importantly:
    Be Brave (to fight the challenge)!

    Love,
    Daniel
