Great news on the scans,jen2012 said:Great funny post and awesome
Great funny post and awesome news!
Enjoy the weekend.Great news on the scans, congratulations!!!! Seems those trailers outside of hospitals are getting more common!!! Our hospital has a large one, not sure what kind of scans are done there, the CT's are done in the hospital. But, I've heard people being directed out to the "trailer". It seems to be pretty permanent and doesn't go anywhere.

Tacos? But, Hold the Cheese?
My old cancer center had a roach coach sitting outside the bldg too...they did MRI's in there...oh well, a room is a room...and a machine is a machine...
Now, the new place...they've got scanners all over the campus...and even different satellite locations...no temp bldgs allowed...
Congrats on the clear status! I've kept this last port in (3rd one) until I know something...usually when I had them pulled, I was maxed out on my plan and the surgery was free...having not met the out of pocket maxiumum since treatment ended...it would be out of pocket of course if I wanted to do it (which I would)...so I'll have to hold for awhile...even if I scan clean soon.
It just seems "Cheaper to Keep Her."
All smiles for you!

AA, you rock! Keep doing
AA, you rock! Keep doing what your doing! I've done some many CT's that I've lost count. CT don't bother me as much as waiting for the results. To borrow a verse from Tom Petty, "The waiting is the hardest part."

but what keeps me a little hesitant is that the last time I had it pulled out, I was back in the hospital for emergency surgery just three months later. I am seriously superstitious about having it out after that little episode.

although I do love all songs by Tom. Seeing him in concert is on my bucket list, but he's getting kind of old, so I think I better get on it!

That would be pretty funny...Chelsea71 said:Awesome news. So happy for
Awesome news. So happy for you. If I were you, I would re-think this whole dairy thing. Maybe you should do exactly what you've been doing for the past 14 months. If Steve is fortunate enough to get a surgery or procedure, he will definitely be taking cimetidine!
Congrats!
Chelsea(in a not-so-funny way) if I gave up the dairy, and BOOM! My cancer came back all of a sudden. Could probably get a job as a spokesperson for the National Dairy Association...

Wow!! NED!!! I am so very happy for you!!!!
I'm happy but it's always tempered by the sadness of knowing that too many good people came to the end of the journey way too young because of this wretched stuff. Makes my heart hurt.

Happy Happy Happy for you
Enjoy and get that port out. I had mine taken out in the hospital - it was a happy day.
Do not let them convince you to have taken out in office.
I said it was put in while in the hospital when I was knocked out (Zzzzzz) and that is exactly how it's coming out!!

which was a bad move...had it back in for more chemo in the blink of an eye. But I had it done in clinic, while I was wide awake. Talk about disturbing! I could feel the doc pulling it out...have never wanted to be knocked out so much as at that moment. Will take that into consideration the next time around.

Yup...definitely a record!YoVita said:Congratulations
14 months - is that a record for you? Excellent news. Enjoy. Love your comments and attitude. From a fellow librarian.
I was having surgery about every 6 months there for a couple of years. Getting over a year for a break is pretty thrilling! I didn't know you were also a librarian. Do you work in a public library?

Happy for You
So happy to hear the great news. I still have my port in at 2 years because my Onc. said I may need it. Hoping for both of us that we continue NED and do not need to use our ports. Congratulations.

of a small public library in Illinois. I'm more of a manager than a librarian these days. How about you - public librarian? We're renovating a building for our new library. Exciting and stressful! Bet you don't miss your semi-annual surgeries.
Best, Vita
