Hi everyone those were the words my oncologist told me yesterday as he shared the result of my ct scan regarding 2 lung mets. I almost have trouble believing it, but I am very happy. No evidence of metastatic disease. He says I should have an MRI in June which will be 6 months from my mammogram which was good last Dec. I have irregular density in the right breast which we know about-which showed slight activvity on the Pet scan. My doctor does not seem worried though--are there ever reasons for slight activity other than the big C? I continue in the clinical trial-herceptin xeloda navelbine In friendship, Ceesun

My understanding is that it's not unusual to have slight uptake in areas where you've had surgery--i.e. lumpectomy. Mine also had uptake two months after surgery and the radiologist stated "probably result of surgery." So good news. Congratulations!
