Maybe now I can sleep…
Okay, so I had the appointment with my oncologist yesterday to get the results of my CT scan, instead of Thursday, like I originally thought I would.
The news is good. I am still cancer free. What’s more surprising is that the scar tissue left behind in my lung after chemotherapy has shrunk even more! In just a little over three months, it went from being a 2.8 x 4.0 cm mass, to being 1.8 x 3.7 cm. My blood work showed me as being mostly normal, a fact which may surprise many of you, though I’m still a little on the anemic side. And, the scan showed a small kidney stone, too, so the doctor reminded me to drink lots of water.
Other than that, though, everything is going well, medically at least. And I’ll have another scan in about three months.
I’ll keep you all posted!
Excellent News! I recommend banana splits to celebrate! Well if you like that kind of thing, lol.

Way to go! I’ll bet as time goes on and all of your checkups are all good news, you won’t get so stressed. Since you’re mostly normal now! 😉

Thanks, folks.
I sure hope it gets easier, ’cause I was getting pretty tense by the end this time around. My doctor really was somewhat amazed at how much the scar tissue has shrunk, and how quickly. I mean, they do save me for the end of the day, so that they’ve got good news to wrap things up with. That’s got to count for something.
