I just got the call from my oncology nurse, Kathleen, with the news that yesterday's PET scan was clear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission_tomography).
Ovaries, bones, lungs, liver--all clear.
No Evidence of Disease. Anywhere.
I promised myself that if this test was clear, I would give myself (and Jay) a long break from worrying about cancer. The worrying has become all consuming--like back in the days of my original diagnosis. And, quite honestly, it's been ruining my life. I'm a worrier. But, worrying about metastasized cancer is worrying on a whole new level. It is bottomless, and it is dark.
So, now, I'm done (and relieved).
The PET scan is clear. I'm moving forward, really.
