PET scan results

Hi Ladies, Got my PET scan results on Friday just before 5th round of chemo. I probably already mentioned that I have stage IV IDC with mets to bone, so i wasn't looking for the cure. However the news was way better than i expected! All of the spots on my femurs vertebrae, pelvis and right axilla were no longer visible. Left axilla still had a spot.
Final impression read as follows:
1 No Hyoermetabolic masses or lymph nodes.
2 Overall homogeneous distribution of FDG within the patient's bone marrow (chemotherapy), favors a positive response to the patient's therpeutic regimine, with a small isolated area of hypermetabolic concern in the posterior left sacrum.
3 No new metatasis demonstrated.
I guess that boils down this D@345 stuff is actually working!
Whoop Whoop Whoopee!!!
Hanging in there and thank all of you for your prayers and concerns.

p.s. The first PET in May pretty much was a lot of gloom and doom.

I was originally supposed to get TAC then my onc pulled the A said he woul save the big guns for later if needed. So it has been the Taxotere and The Cytoxin with Zometa every treatment and Neulasta shot on Monday. I do my chemo on Friday, so I have to wait til Monday for neulasta. Trust me when I read that report and compared it to the first one I almost fainted!
As to how i'm going to celebrate mmmmmm take a day off from work for some other reason than doc's visits, go to lunch with a couple of friends and drink a nice bottle of chardonnay!
