And the results are...

So, I have my PET scan results. I have to be honest and tell everyone that I have known my results since last Thursday (the day after my scan) but until I hear the words from the doctor, I don't like to tell people! I would hate to get all excited about the results to find out I potentially misread something, which can either be a good or bad thing. As much as I like to think I'm an oncologist now from all the stuff I have learned, let's be honest...I'm not. Anyways, I'll start by saying this, the doctor walked into the room today and the first thing out of his mouth was, "congratulations." I sort of had wished I had just won the lottery or something, but me being cancer free was just as exciting! He said that he wants to see me once a month to draw my blood and check my levels - which can also be a good indication if something is going wrong with me. And other than that, to move on with my life and be happy. He also said I can get my port a.k.a. third nipple out. I will be meeting with the general surgeon on April 26th to schedule that appointment. My third nipple was a life saver throughout chemo treatments, but it does not look good with tank tops...and helloooo, it's summer time.

So, to end on this note...cancer and all of it's components and I have broken up, OFFICIALLY. We don't plan on ever getting back together either. I pretty much told him that I hate him and he's super ugly.

I'll keep everyone posted on any updates that I may have. But never stop praying - there are so many of us that have been affected by cancer, and that doesn't just mean those that have been diagnosed. Whether it is someone that has personally battled it or someone that has watched a loved one battle it - it's a disgusting disease, so please, please, never stop praying for people. Regardless of how many years I stay in remission (hopefully forever) I know I will never stop praying....
