Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 26 | I am now 6 months out and have all good news to report. My PET scan was done at the 11 week mark and it came back completely clear, complete resolution of tumor. Yesterday I just had my 6 month MRI scan which also came back completely clear. Along with the scan the Stanford team also did a complete visual inspection with the scope and all was clear as well. I can't tell you how happy my wife and I are today, but always in the back of our heads is knowing that the battle isn't 100% finished so it's really hard to get too excited. One test at a time I guess. I just thought I would pass on the good news, especially for those of you who are going through treatment or have just come out of treatment, hold your head up high and stay positive!!
