Blake had a PET scan yesterday.... it showed.... NOTHING! The report said there is NO metabolic activity! We see the Onc next week but I'm guessing he won't be scanned until August. It looks like Blake will be able to avoid chemo for the summer! Yay!!
If Blake has 3 clear scans while NOT on chemo, he'll be considered NED (no evidence of disease). NED used to be called "in remission." Blake was NED from May 2008 to July 2009. Is it realistic to think he'll be NED again? Have you met Blake? He keeps defying all the odds and we are grateful beyond words. The disease volume is low & small enough to not be detected on a scan. I like to think of it as dormant; we know it's there - it's just not growing right now. But until we see it, it's all systems go on the fun meter!! lol
We went camping last weekend, a graduation yesterday, a graduation party for the girls last night & another graduation tomorrow. We've been pretty busy - having the summer we've been hoping for!
Life is good & we are blessed. Take care everyone!
Live, Love & Laugh
YAY!!! That's great news. :0)
