The followup appointments at the SCCA are not over. It was set up as one day of tests and clinics but the doctors decided to extend my stay for more testing. They are going to check the cancer to see if it has advance or receded. I’ll have a Pet Scan on Friday and a bone marrow aspiration on Monday.
This is great news. They have pretty much cleared me of having GVHD. I had several signs of it earlier but the symptoms have faded. The only question left is how the cancer is doing. I’ll get a call sometime today or tomorrow with results from a blood test. The more detailed news will come sometime next week.
As far as my current state of being, I don’t have time to worry. I’ll either be nearly cured or the cancer may have advanced. Either way, I’m planning to eventually find complete health. As I’ve said before, cancer takes so much. It brings misery to so many good people. As long as I feel healthy, I’m not going to waste time worrying about what potential bad news. I won't give cancer the gift of my misery based on what "could" happen. The good things in life are keeping me far too busy.
Glad that they'll do all the tests on one trip.
