Finally got an email from my doctor tonight... My CT scan was negative for any enlarged lymph nodes or masses!!! I'll get a second PET scan in two months. Hopefully those "two areas of concern" from the first scan will have dissapeared. My Monday night just got a lot better!!! Hope everyone is enjoying their night as much as I am!

2 Areas of Concern
Met my doctor on Tuesday to find out there are 2 suspicious areas on my PET scan. Both could be false positives, but they ordered further tests to determine what they are. I had a CT scan yesterday and am waiting to hear those results. If the doctor finds questionable areas on the CT scan, they will go in and biopsy the tissues. If they don't find anything questionable, then I will wait 2 months and take another PET scan. So now I'm back in the waiting game.
Woke up with a cold today. Hopefully that will go away quickly and I'll hear back from my doctor tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me!

Scan today!
Happy New Year everyone! I had a blast at the cabin and am now back home. Nick, Nicholas, Chloe and I did our best to enjoy what little snow there was. They built a ramp with the snow in front of the house so we didn't have to go far to have fun. While they were "surfing" down the ramp, I stuck to sledding on my behind. I attempted to surf down the ramp twice... Falling on my side 1 second after take off each time. Overall it was a great vacation. Very relaxing, just what the doctor ordered!
On the health front- I have my follow up scan today at 3pm! I won't get the results until Monday at 4:30pm. I'm nervous now and imagine I will be until Monday. I just need to stay positive and focused on good health. Turns out my infection wasn't staph... It was pseudomonas. After 10 days of antibiotics I had to go back in this morning and have the doctor re-open the holes. This time I received 3 shots of numbing medicine before he cut open the spaces. Now cleaned, they got packed with gauze. I have to go to Roseville every 2 days to have it re-packed. There is NO way I could do that myself. I was naseaous just listening to the doctors talk about it! My doctor did say he has never seen an incision take so long to heal. This is one of those situations where you don't feel good about being special! Other than my lingering incision issues all is well. I'll write again on Monday to give everyone the cancer free news!
