Well, had my scan today and my Onc went all out.  CT of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis.  Now I have 24 hours to make it though.  Man I wish I lived in medical marijuana land. :)

    Wishes sometimes come true...

    Hi Joe,

    Positive thoughts and prayer coming your way for a clean report! I checked up on the states that have MM and mine is not one of them unfortunately. In situations like that one has to improvise ;)~

    one more I.D.

    Joe,

     

    I asked and was told yes.  My wife said no.  I was just having fun (I love brownies).

     

    Good luck on the scan.

    brownies for all my friends

    Hey Joe!

    Hope your well and you find nothing on these scans! My first scan won't be untill the end of April and I will have MRI of head and neck and CT of chest. I feel very good but my fingernails are very short in anticipation of scans.

    This is me and my son last year at the Tigers game. We watched the Rockies get their rear ends handed to them. Looking forward to a great summer.

    Well....I know it doesn't do much

    good to tell you to relax...that's it's going to be good.....I know precisely how impossible that is to do.  So I'll skip telling you to relax, and just jump ahead and tell you that you're going to be NED....yes, yes, yes you are.

    Thinking you won't need the crutch

    Best of luck tomorrow. They always make me wait 2 weeks for the results and after the first 2 scans 2 weeks seemed like 2 years. After my 3rd PET Scan my surgeon did say I could have called a day or two after the scan and they would give me the results but I've gotten use to the suspense

    If you rolled one now you may still be on cloud 9 tomorrow for the results.

    Thoughts and Prayers

    Thanks folks

    Thanks for all the good wishes.... hydrocodone bottle starting to look pretty good about now even though my throat decided not to really hurt today (that's a first).  Tomorrow Tuesday at 11:15 I'll know more.

    NED

    Gone, nada, none.

    Bit of a concern with fluid in the lung from aspirating but I can deal with that.

    Another six weeks and then a PET.

    Thanks everyone for the support.

    Great news!

    Glad for NED, it must be incredibly rewarding and relieving to know all that the treatment regimens do to your body and mind were worth fighting these battles. You have demonstrated courage under fire and I admire your inner strength. The most intense part of the war is over yet there are still live mines and other sources of potential collateral damage. Stay alert and focused and you will march off the battlefield in one piece. God be with you Joe. don

    Special feeling

    Joe

    Isn't that one of the best feelings you ever had? I brought alot of work home with me tonight but I had to take a minute to check for your good news.  I will always remember the first time I was told that the cancer was gone. My wife and I left HUP and went to the parking garage, I went to call my son who lives in Florida and I lost it. The best cry I ever had. Matter of fact I can feel  it building now just thinking about it. Life is good.

     

    Enjoy the day..................I do..................every one of them

          Jeff

    Congratulations!

    Joe,

    Congrats on the NED! May you enjoy NED for many years to come!

    I think it's great that your center does an early CT... we have to wait out the 3 months, but just one to go before the PET.

    So glad your worry was for naught!
