Tue (2/21) and Wed (2/22) was at MD Anderson for my quarterly liver cancer checkup. Usual tests … CT scan, chest x-ray, blood tests. Results came back fantastic! No new masses found or evidence of recurrent/metastatic cancer. Said to come back in 4 months which will be June.
Writing these updates is very therapeutic for me. Guess I figure as long as I can write them I’m still doing OK!
And I have to admit this cancer roller-coaster ride (22 months now!) has had a pretty profound effect on me. I didn’t really believe in miracles before but I do now. And this may sound strange, but I can admit in many ways getting and surviving cancer has actually been a blessing to me.
For those familiar with cancer, one can never be “cured”. Once you’ve had cancer there is always some chance of recurrence. But as a survivor your hope is to live the remainder of your life in remission and that the cancer doesn’t come back. And that’s the game plan I intend to follow!
