False Alarm!?

I met with the surgical oncologist yesterday and he wanted to get a CT scan with contrast to better visualize what he would be trying to biopsy and where it was in relation to the important structures in that area(ie. arteries etc). Well I went in and had the CT scan and hadn't heard anything, so I went ahead and logged in myself to check it out (apparently I still had access however I got an email today saying it was being revoked. Oh well). The report stated the lymph nodes from the PET scan were not visible. So there is nothing obvious there to biopsy and no point in doing the surgery. It was going to be a rather involved surgery since these nodes were deep in my pelvis. Since they don't know what exactly they would be trying to get they wouldn't know if they got it. So a negative result would not really be reassuring. Both my oncologist and the surgeon are not convinced it was a relapse and have decided to wait 6 wks and scan again. Therefore, I am clear for now. It may have just been inflammation from starting to exercise or some sort of immune reaction. There is also the possibility that we have witnessed a tiny miracle, that it was back and the many prayers in my behalf have been answered. Either way it is a huge relief!
