OK, got biopsy results yesterday from last week's surgery and saw my Oncologist this morning to get final Scan Results. Everything was clean.
For the time being, at least, I've nary a cancer cell in my body.
Of course, I have to do this for another 4-1/2 years to really say this is behind me, but this good, thorough set of scans, biopsies and Dr. Tsue's check-up last week gets me off to a strong start for getting through those 4-1/2 years unscathed.
Dr. Williamson wasn't too optimistic about some of my other symptoms -- dry mouth and swallowing problems in particular -- getting much better than they are right now. Those might just be a fact of life from here forward. He's more confident about the fatigue. But that's all side issues today. The lead story today is the scan results and biopsy results. And that was all good.
Also was able to tentatively schedule removal of my Feeding Tube and I.V. Port for next Wednesday (Apr 22). Looking forward to getting all that hardware out of me, particularly the Feeding Tube. Another step in the direction of normalcy.
So it's a good day today at the Robinson household.
