Not over yet, but good news

I finished up chemotherapy today. In the past four months, I've had 51 hours of chemotherapy and 40 doses of radiation. And it sounds like it may have all been worth it. ...
My oncologist said she'd be surprised if we haven't killed this monster in my lung. "I can't believe anything has possibly lived" after all those treatments, she said. I should find out for sure June 1. I hope to have my PET scan May 26 and get the results June 1. Please pray my oncologist's prediction comes true. ...
After my last chemo treatment I received a rousing round of applause and bunches of hugs from my nurses. They helped make the treatments easier to take. They gave me lots of advice and I'm thankful for everything they've done for me. I told them I would miss them, but I'm glad I'll be seeing less of them. ...
Assuming the monster is dead, my oncologist said I shouldn't expect my life to ever be the same again. I'll carry scar tissue in my lung for the rest of my life and my lung won't have the same capacity it had years ago. But, what can you expect after smoking like a chimney for 30-plus years, she asked? We both agreed that feeling a little puny was a lot better than being dead. ...
I'm still not out of the woods, because the results of the scan aren't in. I feel very optimistic and I'm praying for a clean scan. Please join me.
