Re: My Husband calls it my onc's victory lap...
Cathy,
Sounds as though you could use a bit of a chemo-break, but the old Onc wants some extra assurance she has whacked that mole dead. I get the reasoning, but they do not have to undergo the treatment, now do they? The best news is that you are clear having had a great response! Here's to hoping you sail through this final victory lap!
