I just got back a short while from a four mile run here in Southern California (traveling for business). I got back to my room at 6:50, checked my cell and noticed I missed a call from my doctor ... at 6:49. One freaking minute!
My doctor is off on Wednesdays, but his assistant left a voicemail stating that the scan appears to be clean: "no indication of metastatic disease in the groin, hip, or lungs."
Then she said something that has me slightly perplexed: "There also appears to be no indication of uptake to the thyroid bed."
Hmmm. That seems a bit at odds with my last scan, which showed a hot spot pretty much as clear as day. So ... I'm not sure exactly what "no uptake to the thyroid bed" means, but I am sure I'll get an explanation in the am from my doctor. Cancermom, you out there? Any thoughts on your end? I think you've recently been through something similiar.
For right now, I'm going to take this as good news. In fact, while I'm trying hard not to get too far ahead of myself, I'm having a quasi-celebratory scotch here in the hotel lobby.
That's it for tonight; hopefully more clarification tomorrow.
