PET scan results

[Gmaoftriplets]

Had my PET scan yesterday and my oncologist was very happy with it . It showed no active disease anywhere, but my tumor FDG avidity had increased from 2.3 to 2.9 from March. She was not concerned at all but of course I keep dwelling on it and cannot be happy with the results. Oh well, I guess this is the story of this disease, up's and down's.

About the worry of the uncertainty, a friend told me that I was the most optimistic person she had ever known. At first, I took it at face value. Then, that night, I couldn't sleep because I had turned it around to mean that I was unrealistic about my future. After a day or two, I was back to myself and took it as she meant it. The mental ups and downs can drive you batty.

I am very glad for your scan results and get it why you are still fretting. It is the dcxx unknown that we have ventured into without agreement.

Thank you, I just wish I could stop thinking about the uptake of cancer in the tumor and be happy about the rest.

[Hidden in reply to Gmaoftriplets]

Oh, re: the uptake, I agree with the doc about not sweating that one! (and I'm usually all about the numbers!) From what I've been told - and experienced - calculating those numbers is not a straightforward process, there's lots of variability. One of my docs described it as "part art/part science"...And your numbers are very, very low...

Thank you so much for the encouraging words, I can't begin to tell you how much that means to me and the calmness I now feel after reading your words. So grateful and blessed to be on this site and be able to connect to wonderful women like you!!

You have reason to celebrate. If your oncologist is happy, you should be too. Time to bring the wine out. Blessings Hannah

I agree, you are right.

Congratulations! If you feel good physically that’s what you get to celebrate. There is just no use fretting over something that has not happened yet and spoiling all the good times that you can and will have. If you keep dwelling on the possibility of bad times, that is all your life will entail. If you enjoy the good times, then you will be able to look back and say that you had way more good times than bad times. It is not so much about being optimistic or not, it’s about how you want to live your life🙂or🙁. It’s hard, I won’t say it’s not; and I don’t want to lecture....which I’m doing, I realize! Just go enjoy that news and however long the good part lasts. Hugs Elaine
