I see my oncologist next week. I just had bloodwork done this week....he checks my tumor marker levels every 6 months. My colonoscopy & EGD were "clean" back in January! I expect great news when I get the latest bloodwork results also!!!!.....

Congrats Clay! Happy to hear it.
I also got great results this week from blood work markers and ultrasound. Doctor said I can be considered cured from my thyroid cancer and just need annual blood work for the markers now. This thread gets both the very sad and very happy news. Sometimes I feel guilty when others are not as fortunate. Cancer is a fucker. It knows not who or what we are when it attacks us and does not care. Prayers and healing good thoughts to those that are still fighting the battle. Comfort and peace to anyone that is not able to fight anymore.

NOOOO polyps at all! That is the FIRST time that has happened at a colonoscopy since my cancer (5 of them, I believe). Every freakin' time I have polyps. He says I can go out to once a year now. Last time he told me every 6 months for the foreseeable future. Yay!
Thank for your support, guys!

I have my annual CAT scan in a month (moved to annual this year). I am several months late on my colonoscopy. I get sick of doing them so often (every 6 months). The prep doesn't even bother me, it is just having to deal with medical stuff that gets annoying. And yeah, I guess I don't like being reminded of my history with cancer, either!

A year ago today I was four weeks out from some major surgery and was starting my first day of four months of some serious chemotherapy. I had shaved my head to donate my hair, rather than having it just fall out, and was in a dark scary place.
Today, I'm working in the morning, then taking my daughter on a college tour, and then I want to make a really good dinner. My hair is growing and I'm feeling healthy and strong. What a year... The anniversaries are good for me to celebrate when I "reclaim" days because otherwise when I have these "one year later" moments it can just rear up anxiety and worry. The anxiety and worry still pop up, but I'm trying hard to crowd that out with positives. Cheers, everyone! |

My CAT scan is on 7/15/16. I am scheduled to see my oncologist on 7/19, but I need to change that because I have a conflict.

I also decided that it was more important that I leave one meeting early and be late for the second one in order to go to my appointment on 7/19. I don't want to delay hearing the results of my scan.
