Tuesday I have my annual PETscan. It’s the one I like least because you can’t do anything before it, or even have a cup of tea. Once they inject the radioactive isotope into you, you lie back in a dark room for an hour, and then you get the actual scan which takes all of 15 minutes.
It’s been exactly 8 years since my original PETscan that determined chemo had not gotten everything and that I would need radiation after my mastectomy.
I asked my oncologist if I was cured or if I was in remission and this was his response

I love my oncologist.If the cancer returns in ten years, then you were in remission. If in 10 years you are hit by a bus and it kills you, I cured your ass.
