Good news, after reevaluating my previous scans (the CT and PET scan I took before I even started chemo) I was cleared! I don't have breast cancer! As for the CAT scan I took last week, however my doctor hasn't been able to look at the films yet so we don't know exactly how far I have come. All I know is I have had some progress. The lymph node I had on my neck that was originally so large it was bulging out is now under a centimeter and the others are gone completely. YAY!
I have continued to feel great too.It seems like each chemo session affects me a little less and I am able to bounce back to my normal energy level a lot faster. My teachers have been really understanding of my situation as well and are willing to help me in any way that they can. So far, though I have been able to attend all of my classes and do all of my assignments with no trouble. I have had a small problem with my right arm turning a bit purple and swelling up, but with no pain. Just to be safe we are going to get an ultra sound done on it to make sure that there isn't a blood clot, because my port is on my right side it could be creating circulation issues and be the reason that this problem is occurring.
Other then that there isn't too much to report. I'll ttyl. :)

GREAT NEWS! Hang in there girl! You are doing great!
Always uplifting to hear good news. I too seem to be able to keep right up with life although I am not required to be out much so recovering in the house is at times confining but other times very comfortable. I'll be watching for your CT results blog entry.
whew, I just caught up on your progress. I am so relieved that the mass was not BC. Thank goodness. I am so happy you feel so good. I lost my job so decided to go back to school. My goal is to become a nurse. I am getting my CNA right now so I can work at an Oncology Center. I send my love and prayers.
