- No evidence of cancer activity.
- Residual tumor undetectable.
- Having made it to the two-year remission mark, the chances of me having a relapse drop to a very UNscary 10%.
I follow up with blood work ONLY (no scan necessary) in 6 months.
Dr. Beautiful Supermodel said I look great, and I feel great! I have been working on improving my health over the past year, and I'm excited that my office visit shows my resting heart rate is down and my blood pressure (even during a super-stressful "I'm-getting-the-results-of-my-scan-what-if-I-have-cancer-again" doc appointment) is the lowest I've had in...well, it's been so long that I can't even remember.
Some loved ones who used to read my blog are no longer with us, having succumbed to their cancers. But I know they know of my happy news. One told me, shortly before he passed: "I'm glad you survived."
So am I, Uncle Don.
Every day is a gift.
Write to y'all in 6 months.
