PET Scan Results

PET scan results show marked improvement. There is some residual activity in both supraclavicular and the sternal area but otherwise, the larger nodes have essentially disintegrated into nothing. I am speechless. Less than two months of hyperthermia and low dose radiation achieved what two years of noxious, poisonous and debilitating chemo could not. My sinuses they believe to be of a biological cause. I am not so sanguine. I agreed to start another ten day course of antibiotics and if I do not improve, I will have to insist on a biopsy. The scan "looked" clear as far as my sinuses are concerned and the radiologist is convinced that there is no cancerous activity in the area. Hmmm...
My oncologist believes I should be done with treatment soon. Yes, a cure is possible even with Stage IV cancer. Screw the rest of the medical community who thinks otherwise. A bunch of ignorant chemo pushers. Never again would I put a drop of chemo into my body. I love myself too much for that.

  2. What's the emoticon for a huge ear-to-ear grin that will last all day and then some? Cause that's what I have after reading this.
