I had my biopsy on Dec 20th and at that time the Dr said it looked like just scar tissue and inflamation. Dr wanted to do a biopsy after an uptake appeared on my first post treatment PET scan on Nov 20th. My treatment ended Aug 23.

The Dr called me last night at 8:30 and said the pathology report showed NO signs of cancer! He said we will keep an eye on it clinically.

I am speechless as I absorb this great news!
