PET/CT Scan

I had a PET/CT scan this morning. Friday I’ll know the results. This is a very important milestone for me. If my cancer is still in complete remission I will have gone 13 months since the start of my chemo. For prognostics, such as survival rates, studies use the start of chemo treatments as day zero. Typically, my type of cancer takes one very quickly if it is going to take you. The highest chance of the cancer returning is in the first year after chemo has started. There still is significant risk during the second year, but a lot less than the first year. Not that I worry about it much, but it is nice to know my odds of surviving the next few years is much better than 50/50.
