Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 49 | I just returned from Onocologist with report from pet scan and ct scan. Both came back negative for cancer anywhere in my body. The cancer that was in my neck has been eliminated from what the pet shows. So I believe I can say that I am in remmission. I will have another ct scan in apirl. I will be seeing my ENT monthly and the Onocologist Bi-monthly. There is hope. Never give in, keep the attitude positve and have faith in God to bring you through.
I will keep posting on any changes. I have learned to live in the now and right now things are good. Living in the past or what is coming in the future will not help now. I know how hard this disease is but we must not let it defeat us in our minds. To me, thats where the battle really is waged.
