Leia: I love you.
Han: I know.
I had a love/hate relationship with my PICC line, Han. Hated him at first, then he grew on me, and finally, I came to love him for the mere fact that he prevented me from being stabbed with a needle every week of treatment. Now that chemotherapy has been completed, and the PET scan results were excellent, it was time to say goodbye to Han. It's been a good three months buddy.

Now I'm going swimming.
Ready, set, pull. Gross huh? 
It was completely painless coming out.
As for the results of the PET scan, the report indicates there is no significant residual activity identified within the mediastinum (marla), no new areas of abnormal PET accumulation.
Or just look at the pictures.

Those pictures are amazing! I think these deserve a permanent spot on your fridge--just so you can smile every time you see them and remember that crazy spring a long time ago when you totally beat canser. And just for the record--I actually like "radioactive"--it's like you are a superhero. You could be Radioactive Girl! :)
