Oh, btw..

It’s become such a recurring non-event that it didn’t really occur to me to post here about it until now. Yesterday, I visited my oncologist for my regular 6 month check-up. As I’d expected, everything was normal, which puts me at 3 years, 3 months in remission. He said that my cancer was very aggressive, and that if I was going to experience a relapse, it would probably have happened by now. ie, he thinks I’m cured. Obviously, we’ll still keep a close eye on it, and I’m always watching for symptoms, but they’ve scheduled my next check-up for a year instead of 6 months.. so, uh, yeah. Wahoo, eh?

    That’s awesome! It’s always a good mark in my book when the dr visits get further and further apart. I was so happy to be at every 3 months when they dropped the ‘we’re adding a new med’ bomb on me. Which I think means apts every two weeks while they monitor my reaction to it. Fun. Ugh. Anyway, that’s awesome news!

    Yay, not dead! Death will get you in the end, but it’s nice that you’ll probably not die of cancer.

    If I recall correctly, all I have to do is beat him at battleship, twister and a few other games, and I’m golden.

    I don’t think I’ve read that particular Pratchett novel. You wouldn’t guess it to look at me (wink), but Death is my favorite character.
