IT'S NEGATIVE!!!!

Just been to the doctor to get my PET scan results. After a couple of minutes sitting in his room waiting for the to find the scans that the scanning people swore they dropped off. The delivery guy suddenly pitched up with the package. By this time my heart was about to climb out my thought and Heather and my mom sitting next to me didn't seem to be any less tense.
The doctor opened the envelope, gave it a quick look if an experienced neutral look on his face before handing it over to me simply saying,
"Well the last paragraph is pretty self explanatory."
I read it slowly (even more slowly than I usually read.) to make sure I got it right;
"There appears to be no active disease."
I could not believe my own senses so the first words outta my mouth was
"Does that mean its negative."
The doctor replied with a quick sharp "Ya!" it was one of the greatest sounds I've ever heard.

I leaned across the table to shake the hand that had got me this far. He smiled and in a matter of factly way told me. "Well this is only half the battle."
I still needed to go for a stem cell transplant. The kind where they take your own stem cells and give it back to you after high dose chemo. However in my opinion the battle had been won. I don't have cancer anymore!!!

Anything that comes now any treatment that he puts me through and any pain that I suffer from now on will be better because I know there is an end to my current struggle :)

Thanks God
Thanks Heather
Thanks to my Parents and to Heather's Parents
Thanks to all my friends and family
And to everyone else who prayed and helped me through this difficult time!

NOW!!!

Bring on that stem cell!!! ... after I recover from this stupid head-cold :)

AND THEN THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!
