Z for Zero

I know I have already posted my Z for Zooming Through April but I just had to let you know the news.

As a last resort I rang the doctor’s office at the hospital again today.  A different person answered, took down all the details and assured me she would contact the doctor as soon as possible.  I didn’t hold out much hope and went on with my day.

We were at Bunnings choosing plants for the rock wall when the phone rang.  It was the doctor!!!!!!

He told me he was currently in Melbourne and had not seen the results. There was some mix up because he thought I was operated on in the Private Hospital.  That had been changed to Wollongong Public Hospital as there was no time slot available.  Anyway, he had someone fax through the report and told me what I had was fat necrosis (dead fat in the abdomen caused by chemo treatment).  It is not cancerous, not life threatening and often goes away by itself.  This is what we had suspected all along but it was very pleasing to have confirmation.

So I’m cancer free. Of course, I will have PET scans every three months but I can live with that.  On Monday we are off to Paperbark Camp, a present from the family, to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Thanks to all who followed my journey and cheered me along the way.  It was the A to Z and its  people that kept me sane over the past few months.

Cheers to everyone. John has opened the champagne!
