“COMPLETE METABOLIC RESPONSE”
What does that mean you ask? It means that the preliminary results from the PET scan this morning show that the cancer is GONE!!!!
Yes! You read that correctly, GONE.
It’s all very fresh and we’re still shaking and crying but it’s true.
The plan is that we will have a discussion with Dr. Richards and doctors at Sloan-Kettering on Monday to determine next steps.
I’m not sure at this point what else to say. Although I guess a big thank-you goes out to all of you for the prayers, support, cards/letters, phone calls, text messages, food, gifts, donations to LAF, and generally good karma that came our way over these past 7 months. It was a huge help, very humbling at times, and all greatly appreciated.
It’s definitely a bit surreal right now and I look forward to a return to “normalcy” with an appreciation for life from the perspective of a cancer survivor.
LiveSTRONG, enjoy life, and never take the simple pleasures for granted.
More to follow next week.
