all clear

I just got a call from my medical oncologist. My scans are all clear.

I'd no reason to doubt that but I feel enormously relieved all the same.

Dr. G says I'm now being treated like "a patient with two compartments." I'll continue to take a drug that has protected every part of me, except my brain, very well.

And, until there are new developments, the only thing we can do the area inside my skull is to keep monitoring and decide how to treat tumours if and when they occur. 

My next MRI is in two months. Bring on the tube with the banging!

Wonderful news - good, good, good! And yeah, that tube does a lot of banging. :)

when my daughter had an MRI last summer she got to watch a movie and listen with headphones:) I think adults should get that option too. It was a huge improvement over the one a year before where she had to be sedated (and that made her sick for days).

I really wish I could listen to something while having my MRI, too. It would make a big difference. At one of the hospital sites, the techs aren't even piped in, so they can't talk to you during the procedure.
