Test Results

So I had my 100 days/3 months from transplant PET and CT scan on July 5th.  I know many of you have asked about the results, and assured me of your prayers and support.  Thank you so much.  At my only other post-treatment scans, the day after Thanksgiving 2012, my cancer recurrence was found. So you can understand the trepidation with which I had these scans.   The days leading up to these scans were wrought with nervous energy in my family, as we awaited the outcome of these scans.

This afternoon I had an appointment with my oncologist regarding the result of those scans and...they showed no cancer! The CT scan did show a new spot in my lungs, but because it didn't light up in the PET (which would have meant a fast-growing cell group) the doctors are reasonably certain that it is not malignant.  I will have a follow up CT in 2 months to compare with today's results.  Also, this means that we are starting to look at taking out my Mediport! My Mediport will come out after the follow-up CT, so possibly sometime in early September.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and kind words of encouragement.  I know God is the only one to give healing, and I appreciate all your petitions on my behalf.
whom shall i fear
I'd like to include this song that I heard on the way to the hospital today.  It was a comforting reminder to me that whatever the test results, "The God of angel armies is always by my side."

Whom Shall I Fear

You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It cannot hide the light
You crush the enemy
Underneath my feet
You are my sword and shield
Though troubles linger still
My strength is in Your name
For You alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

Matching yet converse bald heads with Anne!
