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.

hey hey hey what a nice way to start and go through this week end ...thanks , blessing

Awesome news, Kate! I'm so glad our prayers were answered! (whisper-psssst, hey Kate, I love your new picture, you're beautiful, I don't want to scare you, but there's a squirrel or chipmunk or something sitting on your left shoulder) Love, Bill

Bill,

The little critter on my shoulder is the infamous TipToe. Not sure if you're aware of her or not but PinkGirl came up with the idea. She is being sent to any member who wishes to have her for a visit. Shortly after she left me she was given a side kick - Tiger (I think -- chemo brain). You can look it up under thread "Keeping your mind off breast cancer." There are lots of pictures of her from all her travels.

Kate -- You Are A Walking, Living, Breathing Miracle...
 

KEEP THAT FABULOUS NEWS AROLLING', KATE. THE TIPSTER MUST HAVE HAD A HAND IN IT, DO YOU THINK? KEEP POSTING GREAT RESULTS. WE LOVE YOU... YOU LOOK RADIANT FROM THE BUDDHIST CRITTER. SORRY TIPPY, CHINESE HAMSTER. DIDN'T MEAN TO BE POLITICALLY INCORRECT. WE LOVE HER TOO! OH, AND I THINK *TEX* IS HER NEW FLING... THE TYKERB TIGER THAN HAILS FROM....

Kate, When I logged on here I was hoping I would see a "GOOD NEWS" post from you. YEAH! I am so happy for you. That is absolutely wonderful. Now I can't wait to hear even more good news after your appt on Thrusday. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers for good things to come. :)

Oh, Happy Day! (whistling the tune...oh, yea). Super great news! I'm thinking that that picture is about the cutest thing ever!!!! Way to go. So very happy for you. Tell Tip hi! ma

Great news Kate. Still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. You and Tip make a cute couple!

Kate,

So glad you got good news----keep it up!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am praying for even better news on Thursday!

Whew!
 

WHAT A RELIEF!! Great going, Kate.

However, I am very curious as to what they DID see that caused such a panic. When you see the doc for the results try to look at the scan to find out what it was they saw and ask why it is now confirmed otherwise.
Maybe an anomily in you body?

I hate false positives, so to speak.

Steph,

I see my oncologist on Thursday and I will then get the full report on my scan. My personal opinion is that it is something to do with my heart. When I was on Heceptin before I started to have some heart related issues - drop in LVEF, heart enlargement, etc. I'm not going to spend my time worry about it and will just try and be patient until Thursday morning. That's also when I find out if my little "chemo holiday" will be over. I've been off the Taxol/Carboplatin since Thanksgiving when I had the pneumonia. I'll keep you posted.

Good news Kate. I'll am praying for good news with brain and ct scans.

Karen

Graet news Kate. Waiting for more good news to come. I love your new picture.

Big hug,

FANTASTIC, Kate!

Now you can "breathe easy" for a while....and don't forget to breathe while you are waiting for the rest of your scan results!
