Best news we could have gotten

The results of the PET scan could have only been one of two things - the dye in my system would have lit up like a Christmas tree indicating malignancy or they would see nothing which is "inconclusive" and that is the answer we got and wanted. The Doctor said there is a possibility there are a few maliginant cells there, but the chemo will handle them. More than likely, however, the lymph nodes were swollen to gear up to fight the cancer from spreading. Regardless, it is great news. I have been pretty anxious about this for several days and not resting all that well, so now I know I can get some sleep. As long as I don't get a fever and chills, I do not have to go back to the clinic until Feb 26 to start chemo again. The blood clot around the port is still bothering me, something like a bit of a stabbing pain, and that will take weeks to resolve. But other than that and a headache, no other pain so far! I am hoping to have a couple of good work days at home the rest of the week while my immune system is low, and then be able to see a few agencies a day next week. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. This is the best Valentine's Day ever!
