"I cannot do the biopsy, there is nothing there"
Those were the words of my son's surgeon when he went in last week to get a sample to biopsy of the 'mass' that they had seen on his PET scan.
The only thing I did not do was a backflip and shout WOOT! WOOT! in the waiting room of the operating theatre.
My son had a very invasive surgery done called a thoracotomy to come to this conclusion, but he is now at home recovering.
He has a 10 year follow up programme. For the first year when re-occurrence is highest, he has to go to this oncologist every month and do a CT scan every 6 months. In the second year, he has to go every other month, third year every three months and so on. So he will be a man of 22 when his follow up is completed.
Needless to say our family is extremely happy, and can;t wait to have him back to 100%!
