Great news but also keep in mind that during this healing process he may have some "negatives" show up in the scans from the healing process which are normal and usually resolve themselves before the next scan when unfortunately others may appear. My first scan was clean and my next 2 had some spots in my lungs which, no matter what the docs said, bothered me and my wife but they went away just as I was told and I have been clean ever since.
May you never have remarkable scans but just in case remember what I said.
