That is great news you are clear for mets. I was just as surprised when I got my results a few years ago. I thought for sure I would be riddled with it but no, just a bit of arthritis in my thumb and that was it!
Nowadays doctors like to keep all the images and reports to themselves in their computer systems and we dont often get to carry the dreaded envelope of results. If you want a copy at any time to keep for yourself, your GP doctor can access and print out that sort of thing. It did help me when a cyst showed up in my last mammogram.
