PET scan

So, as I predicted I am pretty much incapable of reading my PET scan results report. I don't speak medical, but I was able to pick up that I am doing well. Phrases like "significant improvement," and "Overall, positive response to chemotherapy," gave it a way. :) That is great news, but I am looking forward to having my doctor explain everything in an easier to understand way so I can get a clearer picture in my mind of how far I have come and how far I still have to go. Hopefully, we are still on target. Ttyl

I just caught up on the last few posts. Awesome news. Your treatment times are making me jealous as I still end up in the 5-6 hr range. Stay focused and keep posting.

I would agree that the little you were able to understand on your results seems to be very positive. I could never wait either and would always, always call my DR as soon as I thought he had received the results. They would always let me speak to the DR or the Dr would allow the nurse to tell me. The waiting is the hardest part. Sounds like the Hansen family is slowy recovering from all of the health issues, I am so happy. I am sure that it was hard for Tanner to leave you all. Please tell him to call me if he needs anything or just wants to come visit.
I love the fact that everyone notices your diamonds and how sparkly they are, I think the fact that you are such a sparkly person yourself helps. Hang in there, keep smiling.
