Good News on PET CT: No Metastatic Cancer!

Topic Explanation:
The forum discussion is centered around a user sharing the positive news that their PET CT scan showed no signs of metastatic cancer. They are now hopeful about the possibility of reversing their colostomy, pending the surgeon's review of their MRI and scar tissue situation. Additionally, the user discovered through the PET scan that they had fractured a rib from a fall a few weeks prior, which explained their difficulty in breathing. They reflect on their decision not to see a doctor immediately after the fall, acknowledging their spouse's concern and feeling fortunate that the fracture was clean without further complications.
