Just to let everyone know... [View all]

Got my latest scan results

Still no sign of cancer. My radiation oncologist released me from care today, as well.

I'll still go to my maxillofacial surgeon every six months, but a lot of what they both do is redundant anyway. I'll get my future scans through my surgeon and should anything arise, I'll deal with it then.

I was surprised to be released. A little worried, but then fewer visits means less travel. I have to travel 100 miles for one doctor and over 300 miles for the other.

I suffer from lymphedema but I can get that treated locally. Mainly massages and compressions, with pain medicine when it gets too bad.

But - the good news still remains: Cancer has not returned after 2 years.

Love you all!

Solly
