This topic is about someone who recently received positive news from a PET-CT scan, showing no signs of metastatic cancer. They are now looking forward to the possibility of reversing their colostomy, which will depend on further MRI results and the amount of scar tissue present. The person humorously mentions that this news feels like a "great birthday present." Additionally, the scan revealed a rib fracture from a recent fall, which explained some breathing pain they had been experiencing. They had delayed seeing a doctor, thinking the treatment would just involve rest and over-the-counter pain relief, much to their spouse's dismay. They are now planning to get back into regular walking to boost their physical fitness.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. Many people in the forum are offering emotional support, expressing relief at the clear scan results, and encouraging the person to stay positive about the potential for reversal surgery.

2. They are interested in hearing updates about the outcome of the reversal and emphasize the importance of seeking medical evaluation promptly after an injury, even if the treatment might be simple.
