ALLLLLL CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today May 22, 2008 I received the best news I have heard in a long time. I got the all clear from my doctor today!!!!!! All tumors have left my body! That’s right they got their asses kicked right out the door. I’ve said it before and I’m going to say it again F*&% CANCER!

It took a good 8 days to recover from the last chemo session. It was a long rough 8 days but once I started feeling good I knew I was done. Then on May 21, 2008 I went in for my PET scan. This is the scan where they inject a radioactive material into you then put you in a scanning machine for about 30 min. I thought I was going to have to wait until Friday May 23, 2008 to get my results but my doctor called me today to give me the good news.

I go in tomorrow to meet with my Radiation Oncologist and discuss radiation. Even though the tumors are gone I will need to go under radiation to make sure they don’t come right back. Once radiation is done I will continue to go into Pacific Oncology every three months for blood tests and to meet with my Doctor. After the first year I will go in every six months. After the second year I will then go in yearly. After 5 total years it is a guarantee that the tumors will never come back!!! The year 2013 can’t come soon enough.

I’m slowly getting my energy and my strength back. I hope to get back to the gym and start getting back to a normal sleep pattern in the next couple of weeks as long as the radiation doesn’t fatigue me too much.

Time for me to celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
