Waiting

Waiting today, for results from Meg's PET scan last week.  With the long weekend, the wait is especially long.  Last week I was filled with anxiety and dread.  Meg was convinced that her nodes in her neck were enlarged, and that she is once again experiencing the swallowing issues that were a symptom before diagnosis.  CT was Thursday - PET friday.  Her doctor called Friday morning while Meg was waiting for the isotope injection.  He said the CT looked "good" - some thymic rebound (very common) and the nodes in her abdomen were "stable."  Huh?  What does that mean - nodes in abdomen stable?  I thought we were good.  I thought that there were no nodes to watch.
So now we wait for the PET results, to see if "stable" means clear, or "stable" means cancer.
On the plus side, no mention of enlarged nodes in her neck.  So maybe we are okay?  For now at least?
Can we dare to plan for the summer?  For next year?  We've been planning for summer - cancer be damned.
Meg is planning out sports teams, lessons, camp, her MAW trip.  It is going to be an amazing summer.  cancer be damned.
