Good News!
The latest update is that I finished my treatments at the end of December.
The CT scan I had at the begining of November showed that none of the nodes had grown and some were gone. This is good. This does not mean anything specific it is just a good indicator I really had to wait for PET scan results. I had to wait for a certain period of time aftger all treatments were done to be able to have a PET scan.
I had the PET scan last week and another CT scan a few days before that.
I went to my doctor yeasterday to discuss the reuslts. The CT Scan basically showed the same thing as the last one and the results of the PET are that there is no eveidence of disease.
This means that as it stands today I am clear.
I now need to go back to the doctor every 2-3 months for follow-up. I will have further scans in the future to make sure that everything is in check.
It is all very surreal. Not the reulsts only, but the whole experience.
It all started becuase I felt a lump on my neck. I really did not have any other symptoms. I never felt sick so it was always weird to think that I had cancer. Becuase of that it is weird now to think that I am better.
