and now elation

Much to my surprise, I heard from my oncologist just minutes ago that other than a suspicious nodule in my left leg, which I already knew was there, my PET scan was negative. There is no sign of mets in the internal organs. What a huge relief. Nick and Allie were here for the ensuing celebration. When the phone rang, I was startled to see that it was someone from Good Samaritan calling, knowing it could only mean one thing. I’m so relieved to be over that hurdle. There’s much yet to consider, but at least I know I’ve avoided the worst of a bad situation.
