Good news

December 14: More good news. My quarterly review went without any trace of cancer. Blood tumor marker tests and CT scans were clean. The doctor now will move to a four month testing cycle. So, the next tests are in April 2008. The difference is that she wants to do a CT scan every time instead of alternating with a chest x-ray. This is due to the microscopic cancer cell they found in the surgery. After 2008, the cycle will go to twice a year. After five years, it will go to once a year. I'm feeling well - with a few lingering chemo effects; ringing in the ears and some muscle cramps in my feet. Life is good.
