Good news on the embolism
As you know I had a CT scan on Wednesday and that same day I got a call from my oncologist to come into the office that day for a blood thinner shot since a possible pulmonary embolism showed upon the scan.
Well, today I had another scan specifically for pulmonary embolisms. I took the discs from Wednesday's scan and today's scan with me to my pulmonary doctor right after my scan today and the good news is that I do not have a pulmonary embolism! I was overjoyed with the news! On my way from the oncologist's office called to tell me the news and also to let me know I didn't have to get any more blood thinner shots.
Not sure exactly what's going on but will see my oncologist on Thursday and get the complete results of both my brain scan and chest/abdomen scan.
I want to thank all of you for your concern and prayers. I'll keep you posted.
