Cured!

I guess that says it all!  Thank God!  PET Scan came back perfect!  I will need blood tests every two months for the first year, then every 6 months for a couple years. I had the port removed last Tuesday, so I'll start making up manly stories about my gnarly scars (why say "Oh that's from a surgery" when, "Knife fight" carries so much more allure?!)  What more need be said?  Horrah!


I would like to thank everyone SO MUCH for their prayers and support, especially my Austin family and my Stanton family... I couldn't have kept you guys away if I tried.. and I'm so grateful!

Love,
Jarid

The Latest Greatest

I had the PET Scan yesterday and it was completely covered by UW Charity Care!!  I'm hoping to hear the results soon.  If the test is clear, we'll get this port out of my chest soon.  If it's not clear, I suppose we'll leave it in for some more treatment after I get back from Uganda... we'll see.

Turns out DSHS won't approve the test.  My doctor thinks I need it, so she's going to try to get Harborview Charity Care to approve it.  She has scheduled the test for May 19th, in hopes that it will be approved.  More later.
