My full body scan came back all clear!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Now I just have to figure out what the CT I did on 8/28 (also attached here) is talking about with me having lymphnodes that are suspicious for early nodal metastases. I am having an ultrasound on my neck on the 25th so maybe that will tell us more? Idk how it can be more clear than a PET scan tho. 🤷‍♀️

Did I want to do it today? No. Did it feel good? No. Did I feel good after? Still no. But I did it. And I will keep doing it. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it. My life changed drastically in a matter of weeks. Do I know what the future holds, no, none of us do, but every day I wake up is another day to make my body better. And I intend to take every advantage if it. GO OUTSIDE! GO FOR A WALK!

I know I haven't posted an update since my PET scan and I am sorry about that, but its kinda been a waiting game and I hate posting without definite answers but here we go. My PET scan came back clear, NOD, no evidence of disease. Which is wonderful news! But, my case, being so different, we did a special PET scan that is estrogen responsive and a spot on my lung popped up. This has the doctors puzzled, because there should be no estrogen positive tissue in my lung and no mass showed up in my lung on the CT or the normal PET scan. So, that is still being reviewed by specialists. My thyroid biopsy came back positive for cancer. A totally different cancer not related to my breast cancer. So, I have a consult to remove my thyroid tomorrow and a consult to remove my ovaries Tuesday. Double mastectomy will come in a year, when I am all done taking the Lynparza.

$20,000 a bottle. I take one bottle per month for a year. 🤬
