HALLELUJAH!!!

PET showed no other signs of the big C anywhere but where we already knew about PLUS in 2 less lymph nodes than the CT radiologist identified!!! The only bummer is just because I didn't think about it but the tonsil cancer cells spread out a bit. No biggie though. That's what the chemo is for. Overall, I am doing the happy dance

    Wonderful!!
    So now it's on with the treatment and recovery. One of my scariest days was going to the ENT to hear the "news" on my PET scan...so the tumor is a little bigger, but there are less lymph nodes....perfect trade off, I think.

    I'll happy dance with you :)!!!

    i wish it was my 6 monther
    i wish it was my 6 monther but it was only my initial scan. i haven't even started treatment yet, but i was certainly glad i wasn't ate up with it elsewhere. thats the funny thing about cancer. before you ever get it the first time its like, man i hope i never get cancer. then you get it once and it changes to man i hope i never get it again. now the third time is man i hope its only where i think it is...lol

    Woo Hoo!
    I'm thinking larger primary for fewer nodes is a good trade.

    I'm doing the chair version of happy dance. Wonderful.

    Yes-
    One giant hurdle is now behind you, and that's great. One of the more anxious times that we all go thru, Tuffenuff. Happy for you that it's nowhere near as bad as you perhaps had feared, and is gonna be very winnable- you're gonna be in the 100% catagory-YES!

    Gods little hang in there moments
    when we just need something to help us take that next step.. I remember after my PET scan that we were told it had not spread we had that same feeling of Woooow. So enjoy the moment and hope for many more Yahoooos. I know we all are.
