It says "No Evidence of Metastatic Disease"! Can you believe it? I really was afraid I would never see those words. What a wonderful surprise.
The description of a vallecula cyst is not related to cancer, so nothing to worry about there.
This is the best report I have had since
becoming stage IV. For now, I am (as described in Cancerland) Dancing with
Ned.
The reality is there may still be some nodules
hidden from view of this CAT scan. The good news is those nodules that had been previously detected have reduced in size to 2mm or smaller. Next time, they may
reveal themselves. It would be so wonderful for those nodules to stay hidden or
in fact be gone for good. That is obviously what I am hoping will happen. NED doesn't mean I will live longer than someone who
has stable disease, though. Survival is directly related to how a person's cancer
responds to treatment.
Nevertheless, I like the way this sounds. TDM-1 has made me very happy indeed.
