Update on 9/8/17 PET-CT Scan
Good news! I was able to see the radiology report of my PET-CT scan from Friday, 9/8/17 and it shows that the mass in my chest remains stable so all indications are still pointing to it being a benign thymic-rebound. My appointment with the gyn-onc is in a week so I'll learn if my port can be removed at that time. I'll…

Our cancers, uterine, ovarian, cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and primary peritoneal, are silent until it it too late and there is no tests for early diagnosis. We have lost too many beautiful sisters to…
