I know that I was extremely frustrated yesterday, and I want to thank y'all for taking the time to walk me through all of those feelings and questions. Thankfully today I got most of my questions answered.
I called Sandy this morning around 10am. I asked her to tell me exactly what the test results meant. She read them to me line by line, explaining that both the PET and the MRI showed I am NED. So by a miracle, the only lymph nodes that had active cancer in them were the two that they took out on June 1st. I also asked about my Staging. I’ve known that I am Stage III, but I have not be notified on whether it is a, b, c, or d. She said that Dr. Hsueh does not letter out the stages, so I guess I will find that out with Dr. Richart on July 11th. As I understand it, I will still be seeing Dr. Richart, my medical oncologist, to figure out which treatment option is right for me.
Over the past week or so one of the things I have learned is that being at Stage III means I still have a fight ahead of me, even though I am NED. I am going to take every opportunity to make sure I stay NED for as long as possible!
Thanks for listening.
Becca
