Saw the Doc

Carlene had an appointment with her medical oncologist this week. He was very complimentary about how Carlene handled all the treatment that she went through over the last 16 months or so, and he is more than satisfied with the results. Given the clear PET/CT, the doc said Carlene doesn't have to see him for 6 months. We are relieved that she won't have another doctor visit to be concerned with for awhile. Carlene is feeling great, and looks terrific. She is happily sporting her new short hairdo. (Not so much that she will let me post a picture here!!) Thanks for all your prayers, emails, phone calls, and cards.
Happy Thanksgiving

PET Scan Results

Carlene had a PET scan this morning. The nurse navigator just called with the results. NO CANCER!! Praise God!! The PET showed some residual infection in her lung, but that was it. We are just thrilled. We had way too long to think about all this since she had the CT scan in September. We are so relieved. Carlene was praying the she could just have some peace for awhile, without having to worry about scans, or x-rays, or biopsies. Looks like she is going to get her wish. Thanks for all your prayers.
God Bless.
