    Just got done at docs…pet/ct showed a spot that little up in my ribs but I took a good blow there about a month ago and thought I actually broke them so hopefully nothing. Also a spot in right axilla and spot in throat. Doctor said he isn’t concerned about them because there is no masses and very low such. I did some hard manual labor yesterday not even thinking about scan. He said not to worry and we’ll just watch them for scans in 3 months. Brain mri- no new lesions and spot that hemorrhaged shrunk from 3.7cm to 15mm. We are unsure if it’s leftover blood from radiation or burst from disease but it’s going away so good news. So all in all I think scan went well maybe pet scan is not needed every time as something always seems to light up a bit but always different spots then gone next scan. Thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers it helped a ton. Special thanks to Josh for the email this morning telling me to be confident and the talk about anxiety. Get to live for 3 more months worry free. Fishing hunting and loving the wife and kids here I come!!

        Thanks Brian, it is so hard to go from almost back to normal life and then the rush of emotions when it’s time for scans. Was able to,take the kids to school orientation yesterday and today. Researchers need to get their ass in gear.

        Gary your right it has been a rough week. While I’m happy that things went ok for me I feel selfish because of the loss of DFENG the hard times Josh and Eva and other are going through. I hate opening up the forum and seeing post after post of people struggling. I know that barring a big turn of events or by being a miracle long term responder on taf/mek I will have my time to struggle also. The last couple of days have been hard with what is happening on the board and my own struggle to accept what my personal diagnosis is. I know only God knows what lies ahead and just have to keep my hope and drive to live at a high level.

        Jamie,

        Don't beat yourself up with "survivor guilt".  Everyone is on their own road with unpredictable disease.  The fact you are here, sharing, shows you care about others.  It's the best we can do.
