CTC...terrific results! So excited!
I never wanted to be a BIG 0 more than now! And I am! My onc called this afternoon and told me my results came back and it was 0. I asked him 3 times. He finally just read me the report! I celebrated with a great lunch and a nap! I do love good news!
I asked him if that meant that I would be coming to see him less often....No, he said. We will keep checking every 2 - 3 months!!!! Whew!!!! The only thing as good as a great report is a GREAT onc! He's terrific!
Thanks for helping me wait this out and for understanding that any sign of NED is a breath of fresh air!
I began to do as I had promised ya'll and me....I started focusing on my work more and getting the house in better shape! Whatever the future brings, this is a GREAT DAY!
Luv to all, ma
