Metastasis

One of the huge things I’ve been worried about is metastasis. That’s when the cancer has spread to other distant areas in the body. It really lowers survival chances.

That’s what our scan was for today. To see if it’s spread. I wasn’t going to find out results until Thursday but my amazing surgeon called me today, Dr. Kolkman and said NO METASTASIS!

NO METASTASIS! NO METASTASIS!! NO METASTASIS!!!!

He did say there was some lymph swelling on the left which is weird and earned me an MRI but no Mets! NO METS!

That news is some of the best news, other than remission! One step at a time, right?
Prior to Dad’s final dx of Hodgkins Lymphoma, all we knew for a week was a 9cm mediastinal mass that was partially inside his right atrium. When the PET scan showed no other involvement (besides lymph) it was the same response. No Mets! So happy for this news!

Great news – and I’m so thankful that your doctor shared the good news immediately rather than making you wait until Thursday!
