Apparently going to Arizona for the month of March was good for us.  Yesterday, I had labs, followed by a  CTscan of my chest to see if I had any lung cancer, since that was suspected by the doctors.  Then I met with Dr Rojas, my oncologist.  The CTscan showed that my lungs were looking much better than they looked on the last CTscan, so no lung cancer is present at this time.  My oncologist did a pelvic exam and the cancer in that area is gone too.  However, I will have labs & be examined every three months and have a CTscan every six months to make sure the cancer isn’t returning.  My port will stay in for two years.  My palliative care team has requested to see me tomorrow.  I’m feeling pain free now other than neuropathy in my hands.  It has been a long journey, since I was diagnosed with cancer a year ago.  I’ve had thirty radiation treatments & several seven hour long chemotherapy treatments.  My hair is starting to grow back and it is thicker than before.  I’m looking forward to turning 80 soon, & to our great grandson being born to Leah & Zach in a couple of weeks.
