Hit the Road Jack!.........

Wow great news . Doesn't get better than that !!! I know how relieved you must feel . Makes sence about your voice too , just needs more time after all it hasn't really been that long . Peg is gone too, is so good that you can eat enough already . Now get on with your new normal life and have some fun !!!

Ok....WHOO HOO!!!

Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean!! 

Guess I'll follow your lead......I tend to get jealous when everybody ELSE is getting PET scans, and my Onc won't give me one....maybe this is a great sign, huh?  I've gotten one PET 3 months after treatment (Nov. '12').....a CT in March.....and have another CT coming the end of this month.  They don't even do my chest....

They do things differently everywhere, tho, I guess.....I get scoped every 2 months and that will go on for the next year.  My ENT did tell me, tho.....that HE would see something before a scan would....so that makes me happy that I can see him every other month...I get a nice wave of relief whenever I go see him........doesn't stave off the scanxiety, tho....I could see him on a Monday, get a scan on Weds, and still be chewing my nails.

By tomorrow at this time, you're going to be walking on cloud nine.....something about the first NED......well.....ALL NEDS......LOL....drop to your knees kind of relief.

Doing the happy dance and praising God for your great results. Love the Picture! You do look like Mr Clean:)  Debbie

We were also told at our last appt that unless something warrants it, there will be no Pet scan or CT- only scopes every 3 months over the next year And 6 months after that through the next 5 yrs. Our oncologist said it is for several reasons: the tests add more radiation on top of what has already been done; the tests are expensive; the tests can often show false positives especially after radiation treatments.   I suspect it has a lot to do more with insurance companies.....and this is a Cancer Center. Never the less, my husband was told he is in remission at this point and both of us have slept through the night over the past week- with no help from meds!   .  

great news to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats T, bet you sleep great tonight.

Love the expression on your face  !   You did a mighty fine job of sending that rascal Jack runnin' down the road... may he never come back.    

So glad to hear the great news and trilled for you. Must be a huge weight lifted off, just the waiting and unknowing. Sounds like a lot was accomplished in one day up there. Say bye bye to PEGgy for me. LOL don

It's mister Clean. I knew there was something to that last week when I called you that. I also had a hunch you would be clean and green. Wait if you were green that would make you the Jolly Green Giant.

Congrats my friend. I will never forget getting the results of my first scan. You will come down from cloud nine in a few days but until then enjoy your stay and the NED high. A much better high than the oxy one.

Enjoy the day and heal on

Piece of Cake....

Well almost ~lol~ 

No pain at all. It was the balloon. It slipped out with a little gurgle and they put a bandage over it. However, I was told not to eat anything the rest of the day because it could come out the hole. I thought of you and your post Peggy meal and the thought of my meal leaking out into my lap wasn't appealing! I could have liquids though. 

I woke up this morning and pulled off the bandage. All is good

"T"

They didn't tell me not to eat, so this southern girl had a Bojangles biscuit less than an hour after evicting Peggy! LOL  Glad it didn't come spilling out  

So glad it was the balloon and you had an easy time of it!
