PET SCAN RESULTS

P.E.T Scans!! Pet Scans!! Yay, Yay, Yay. Here's for PET Scans where the

"P" definitely does not stand for positive*
"E" stands for EXCELLENT - "news could not be better"
and
"T" stands for Thomas F. Johnston who at this time is completely CANCER FREE.

WOO HOO!! Way to go Tommy J. Thanks to everyone for the love and support. This was the news we were waiting for!

Love J

*as in positive results - which would have been bad. Instead results were negative, which is really good/no cancer!

PET SCAN

On Monday of this week (the 17th) Tom had his post-treatment PET Scan which is a test to see if all the cancer is gone. As previously posted, his initial exams checked to ensure that the localized cancer cells were gone and so far, so good. Now, these PET scan results will let us know if they caught the throat cancer before it had the chance to spread and if it did spread, that the chemo administered this summer got rid of it.

We are anxiously awaiting results which should be available later this week. This is it. I'll keep you posted. Send good thoughts.

Smitten, I'd say. Hurray!!

Tiny Steps

So far so good on the post-treatment assessment news. Tom has had a couple of exams where his doctors have let him know that they are optimistic that they got all the cancer! Now, as much as I want to jump out of my seat on this.........the PET scan (definitive test to identify cancer cells) is not until the end of the month. Keep hoping, praying, and doing the anti-cancer dance until then, okay?

For now, though, a big sigh of relief that it looks good and our one-and-only TJM is feeling good, starting to eat more, and concentrating on putting his life back together after the hell that was this summer.

HOPE HOPE HOPE until late November!! AND while we're at it, let's HOPE HOPE HOPE that tomorrow's election gets our super-candidate Barry H. Obama elected! I want to know now!!

Good luck dems (and smart reps and smart swingers) - and good luck Tom - November is a big month!
