I’ll make this brief. The scan results for both my chest and head & neck showed no evidence of cancer. My next appointment will be in 4 to 6 weeks for a follow up. The last detectable cancer was removed from my body surgically on October 18 2007. That means I’m half way (1 year) through a period of “no evidence of disease.” If/when I hit the two year mark at this time next year without a recurrence, it will mean that I’m in remission. I think this is a great thing. But, as Gust Avrakotos (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman) in Charlie Wilson’s War said of the Zen master's statement, “we’ll see.” I’m just recently beginning to think longer term. More on this later as my thoughts and plans crystallize.
That’s it for now. Thanks for checking in and take care of yourself.
Blog Introduction
I began this blog in early May 2007. The earliest three entries provide good foundation reading on my situation, where it started, my disabilities, etc. These three earliest entries are worth reading before jumping into the more recent day-to-day thoughts and blog entries. You can get to these three entries easily via the Blog Archive box below.
My favorite blog entry is titled "December 13 2007." You guessed it, you can find it filed in the December 2007 blog index below.
