No sign of metastatic cancer! Now I'm hoping to hear from the surgeon about reversing my colostomy, but I guess it depends on how she reads the MRI and my scar tissue situation. But what a great birthday present! I do have to get back to my walking, though, so I'm in better shape. The other thing the PET scan showed was that when I fell a few weeks ago, I actually fractured my rib—no wonder I couldn't breathe for a second there! My spouse was not amused that I waited until the PET scan to see if I actually broke a rib. She thought I should have gone to the doctor. I kind of thought I had done something bad because I couldn't really take a deep breath, but what would they do? Tell me to take Advil, ice it, and wear a brace? I was appropriately reminded that I was lucky that it was a clean fracture, and I didn't puncture anything…
Dwild, congratulations on the good news!
Good luck and prayers for the reversal!
Congratulations! I know how stressful it is waiting for those scan results.
LOL at your justification for not seeing a doctor when you fell. No wonder your spouse was not amused!

So happy for you! Getting scan results is so stressful! Sorry about the rib, though; yikes.
I love hearing good news; thanks for sharing it.
