Final PET scan results came back with something lit up behind my nose, they don't know if the cancer moved or of it was a sinus infection or something else.
Scheduled me for what was SUPPOSED TO BE an OR visit for a camera and biopsy. Get there this morning and they just shoveds a camera up my nose in the office and started trying to take a biopsy.
Now waiting on them to reschedule for a different berkeleying hospital because the stupid berkeleying radiological ENT that works at my hospital only does surgery at the hospital in downtown Pittsburgh.
Seems like something one of these useless vajajays should have known when they scheduled everything and tried to talk me into it.
Don't know why they insist on wasting everybody's time. I'm not doing another chemo, period, end of discussion. Carve this port out of my chest before I do it for you.
Frankly I don't give a berkeley what they find, although they did find "something" they want to biopsy, obviously. If they can't carve it out or hit it with radiation, they can give me a timeline or they can berkeley off.

That sucks. But they waste time, because it's billable. Like the stupid E36 M3 of needing a referral to see a specialist. So I have to go to the doctor and pay for the visit, just to get them to call the specialist and be able to make another appointment I have to pay for.
After an annoyingly long 2 weeks of waiting, and rescheduling appointments and making my wife take unneeded unpaid time off work, for biopsy results that, in the times before computers and interns, could be had in a day, I got my results.
Whatever is in my nose is NOT cancer.
So I guess I'm in remission. Onc won't call it officially remission until my next scan, sometime after my next appointment in February.
But for now, this chapter is closed.
Happy dance here!!

That's great. Happy for you.
Great to hear Rev!
I'm proud of you for enduring and kicking ass in the battle that nobody wants to face.
Amazing news, thank you for sharing!
How are you feeling? Any celebratory plans at all?
Great news so far and I know we'll all be looking for the update early next year once additional news comes in. Thanks for sharing
So stoked to hear that. I have followed your story as my mom battles CLL/SLL.
it takes a strong person to kick cancers ass. You should be proud of yourself. I know I'm just some stranger over the internet, but I truly mean it. Following your story has helped grasp what is going on with my mother. So at the bare minimum, your experience helped a stranger on the internet, so thank you!
