… No evidence of disease!
My PET scan and both CTs show no new tumors, and no evidence of any hypermetabolic activity. Which is GOOD NEWS.
I’m not strong enough to start chemo yet, says the oncologist, so we’ll wait 2.5-3 weeks and then get on that. I’ll be taking chemo in a pill to kill the small cancer cells and clusters that don’t show up on scans. 4 pills, twice a day, for 2 weeks, then a week off, then 2 weeks on — for 6 months. More details about that another day.
For now, I’m to rest when I need to, get out when I can, and enjoy life without worrying about the cancer.
Hallelujah.
