Hi there Kerri.

I am glad they weren't worried about the new "possible" spot. Glad you have a great medical team and they give you hope by not saying things that aren't necessary,

My docs told me I only have a 50% chance of living to see 30 when I was diagnosed at 25. I try not to think about that now that I am 27 and a year and a half past diagnosis without a "clear" scan yet.

Anxiety is the worst. I have told my doc I don't want a PET every 3 months, but that I will do them once or twice a year...cuz they always make me so anxious because of all the activity that still shows up. Even if it was on my past one and they biopsied it before and it was just inflamed tissue, it still makes me anxious...I just want a clear one already!

I am glad you had your healthy baby boy! Hopefully someday I get to experience being a mother. Docs say I shouldn't try until I have had 5 years of clear scans, which I haven't had one yet, so it's getting more and more discouraging. Some have said I should never attempt having children because the increased estrogen during pregnancy could turn any micro cancer cells into full blown again, I don't like hearing this, but it might end up being. I know I could maybe adopt someday and I do have time, but hopefully the one adoption agent I talked to was just having a bad day and telling me lies when she said I couldn't adopt because of my cancer.

Anyways...not trying to steal the light from you....Not always great to say, but it's nice to run into younger people on here, especially when they were able to have a child...gives me some hope.

Hope you continue to have no worries and no recurrence!

You said you are a health professional...what do you do?

I was in LPN school when I got diagnosed and had to withdraw and now am starting all over again, hopefully someday i will finally be done with school and cancer doesn't ruin it for me again!
