Welcome to Jean’s CaringBridge Site
Sign In to Show Your SupportJean met with her oncologist today to review scans that were done this month and for the second set of scans in a row they are clear and all looks normal. The doctor feels Jean is in FULL REMISSION!!! This is such great news. The cancer journey is certainly a rollercoaster and Jean has definitely had her ups and downs, but we will take this great news and thank the Lord! God is good.
Since she was given the stage 4 diagnosis at the start of this, the doctor is taking no chances and will continue the oral chemo regimen indefinitely to keep this monster at bay. She gets to move to appointments and blood work every 2 months though which will seem like a huge break from the every 3 weeks she has currently been doing. She will not have to do scans as often either but will if there are any new spots and such. Jean also will meet with a new specialist soon to follow up on lymphedema that she had been treated for before just to work on rage of motion, etc. This is due to having all her lymph nodes removed in one arm during the first round of cancer. She hasn't follow up with anyone for a bit and the doctor thinks it would be good to do so.
