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

I know now that this is my life. Tomorrow morning is my PET scan, then Starbucks.

Nice song. I went for coffee after each treatment until I could no longer taste the coffee.
