Some Really Good News

Where I work, we have a Good News Verse of the day that follows our news and weather updates.  A part- time weekend announcer likes to end her news and weather broadcast with the phrase "and now some really good news" at which time she plays the Good News Verse.   Well, I am stealing her phrase for this blog.  But before "some really good news", a little background is necessary.

On December 19th, I had my one year from stem cell transplant PET scan.   The results showed some tiny nodes with uptake in both armpits and on both sides of the neck.   However, due to my having received 7 immunizations two weeks earlier, there was some thought these could be the cause for the nodes activity.  It was decided another PET scan would be scheduled three months later to double check.

Fast forward three months. and on March 6th, I had the PET scan.  Then on March 10th, I had an appointment with my oncologist who had "some really good news" - she felt that since there had been no change in the previous active nodes that these were not a re-occurrence of the cancer. 

After receiving this "really good news", I then headed to my next scheduled appointment to have two immunizations.
