Just realized I didn’t post my update from last week. Short version is I had my full body PET scan and it came back “normal”. This means all the tumors that showed up on my March scan were no longer evident! Because of this progress, I am all finished with my chemo treatments, but I will still get my monthly bone booster injection. Since I am Stage 4, I will always have microscopic cancer cells floating around, so the hope is that they don’t join forces and create new tumors. Game on! :)
