Well, yesterday, I received the results of my first post-treatment PET Scan. After doing my best to not worry all weekend (the scan was last week, on Thursday), I started to freak out sometime around noon on Monday. I have had ongoing issues with getting the Dr. to call me whenever test results come in, and I was not about to let this one slide.
I kept calling...10AM, no results yet; 12:00 PM, will have Dr. call me ASAP; 1:30 PM, the Dr. will call me (then I cried and begged...I told them that they just do not call me back, I really did cry) I was having a panic attack at this point (no fun, considering I was at work!!!)
Then, Nellie (Dr. Wright's assistant) called me. NO CANCER detected in my bones, liver, lungs, brain, chest...etc.!!! Then, I cried in relief.
My thyroid lit up the test again (and NO, I am not going to let them tinker with that again--we will just assume it is fine); and the Sinus Infection I have been dealing with showed up (they do want me to follow up with an ENT (Ear Nose Throat) Specialist to have my sinuses checked out (not for cancer, but for abcesses, etc.)
NO CANCER!
So grateful and relieved!!!

Yeah! What fantastic news, Tory. So funny my thyroid did the same thing on my PET scan. Thyroid-breast cancer connection? Hmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing great and anxiety levels stay low!
I started taking baby aspirin everyday last month per your recommendation. Kinda yummy in a reminiscent sort of way.
Best of success with your run... Dazzle and amaze them all!
