Sometimes I forget to post things on the good ol' blog, so #sorrynotsorry!
But I have BIG, GREAT, NEWS!
I had a PET Scan last week, which is where they inject you with radioactive sugar and then do a scan to see where the cancer is chillin inside of you. This scan was to see if the chemotherapy is working and if the cancer had responded, so I was pretty dang nervous.
I got the results of the scan and they were GREAT! The doctor said that all of my lymph nodes are responding really well! There's this international scale called the Deauville Criteria, and it's from 1-5, 1 being the best possible reaction and 5 being the worst, and I'm a 2! Woot Woot! Never thought I'd be so happy to be called a 2. ;)
A lot of my "tumors" are already gone, and some of me even looks like normal! The big tumor in my chest has shrunk enough that the doctor says I might not have to do radiation!! There are no guarantees and anything could happen, but it's a little light of hope!
It feels beyond amazing to know that the treatments are working and all this hasn't been for nothing. Friday was definitely a happy day!!
Yay! Amazing news!
