Good News, Everyone!

So I'm at my halfway point in treatment. This means PET scan time! I had it done on Wednesday, and my appt. to see the doctor for the results was on Friday. Well, he called me on Thursday afternoon with the results because they were awesome and he's such a good doctor.

If you remember from before, a PET scan is where they inject radioactive glucose into the bloodstream, and then basically do a CT scan. Cancerous cells show up as glowing on the scan. When I had my first one done it showed infected lymph nodes all through me, and infectoions in my liver and lung.

On this new scan nothing was glowing! That's great news! The doctor said that I was in clinical remission which is so awesome! The doctor said that the places that were cancerous just showed up with dead tissue now.

I still have to finish out four more chemo cycles, in case there are microscopic infected cells, but they're going to lower the dosage of what I'm getting. So we're hoping that I wont be as sick all the time, and that I wont have to go back to the hospital.

Nice Day

It's November and beautiful! I took a walk around my neighborhood and explored a little bit. Feeling pretty good today! I was glad to get outside and take in some sunshine, I've been cooped inside for a while!

Wigs!

On Wednesday my wig came in! My mom and I went down to Claudia Mayer to pick it up.

It is a pretty snazzy hat.

 So here's my wig! It isn't purple (I gotta work after all), but it's still pretty funky!

It's been a pretty good week for me. I've felt like a person who wasn't sick this past week which is pretty nice. Chemo starts again Wednesday.
