Never Ending

I am NOT in remission. But that does not mean I still have cancer. Confused yet?

There are still some enlarged lymph nodes in my chest. They have to do a PET scan to see if those are active cancer cells or if it is just scar tissue from the cancer. Until they do the scan they can't say for sure whether or not I am in remission.

So on the 4th I will go for my scan. And a few days after that I will know what the verdict is. If they are cancer then I will not be going back into treatment.

Instead I will need a bone marrow transplant. Which could put me out of work for another few months.

The doctor seemed to think it was going to be scar tissue but he really can't be sure until they do this other type of scan.

So yeah...Good news yet..not quite what we were hoping. but still...good news.

what the...? Way to go and be difficult. Man, I read that first sentence and my heart sank. I don't like the words "bone marrow transplant" either... therefore, I insist it's just scar tissue. Don't you go against me... lol I'm really pulling for you here.

Fun fact of the day: the average person goes to the bathroom 2500 times a year, which it 6-8 times per day. How average are you?! lol
