Got a call from my MO and the PET/CT results come back in sections. So far, the pelvis and abdomen are clear. She will call when she knows more. Later, I got a call from Dr. Deschler (surgical oncologist) and he said that my FNA was negative smile. I told him that I had my scan at MGH yesterday and they didn't have all of the results yet. He said that as far as he could see, the lungs looked clear. So, a little more news...all good. I see Dr. Deschler on Friday.
