Stage 2 now after 3 Radiologist reviewed pet scan... A BIT BUMMED

Corban woke up fine today. He had slept in bed with us, kicking us, and acting like it was his bed, not ours. lol! We love this kid. We were headed to his regular peds doc, and he suddenly developed the biggest headache and was crying at  the doctor's office. It was alarming doing a well check for a kiddo with cancer.  Why do we have to even bother?  He has been poked and prodded so much.  

I called the oncologist for help on what to do for him. He felt certain it was a spinal headache. He called in a prescription, and we are hoping for some relief. It has been tears and pain all day for Mr. Blue Eyes. Then, on that same phone call, the oncologist told me that they had several radiologist look at his scan, and the consensus is that his cancer is stage 2 because the two spots are not connected to each other in any way.  One spot that lights up with cancer is in his side that was ulcerated; the other is in his body (one of his lymph nodes), not connected at all. The cancer is considered systemic now. He also said that this is not a game changer. The treatment still will proceed the same way. We check into the hospital on Thursday morning and he will stay overnight for his first treatment.
