WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!
My scan came back showing the same results as last time... meaning something is lighting up in the scan, but they don't think it's cancer. They think it might be my thymus lighting up (your thymus is a gland that is behind your sternum and in front of your heart. It is part of your immune system). Or they think it could even just be the blood flowing through my aorta, or it could be scar tissue... either way it has not grown at all so they do not think that it's cancer.
Oh sweet relief! I'm having another scan done in four months. It will just be a CT scan because my doc is not super happy with how PET scans keep lighting up on people like me, causing worry. He says that he has a lot of other Hodgkin patients with the same thing going on. He said that my CT scan showed absolutely nothing.
I'm so relieved... it will be nice to be able to look for a job without the worry of "well maybe I still have cancer" hanging over my head. Trent can start his program and we can start moving forward with our life. I'm so grateful that things are going well...

My doc said the same thing about pet scans- because of false positives- I'm so glad to hear all this because it makes me feel like that's what's going on with me. Supposedly I'll find out this month- but it sounds like this is hwat happens to all hodgkin's patients- so this is really relieving- so happy for you too!
