New CT scan/PFT-Great News!

Yesterday I had a CT scan and today I had a pulmonary function test.  The pulmonary function test showed great improvement, and the CT scan showed that the infiltrations they saw in the last one have diminished.  I am so happy and relieved. I have a follow up visit with the pulmonary doctor and another pulmonary function test on December 20th to monitor my progress.  But she said that she does not need another CT scan.  I am being weaned off the prednisone (down the 30 mg the next 2 weeks, 20 the following 2 weeks, then I will decrease by 5 mg every 2 weeks after that).  She also said that she is fine with me going back to work after the Christmas break.  So, tomorrow I will talk to my oncologist about writing a letter so that I can return.  The best part is that I have been feeling so good.  Today I walked all over NY without getting out of breath at all.  That is more than any test can show. I still have to resolve the issue with the nodule on my thyroid, but no one seems too excited about that. This is great news, thanks again to everyone for your prayers and support. How did I celebrate?  With a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity, of course!   Hair update-I am still wearing the wig, but I am a little bit past the crew cut length!  I have all my eye brows and lashes.
