Four Scans Down

Got scan results this morning from Monday's scans. Another scan down and still so far, so good.

The scans looked good, I got my seasonal flu shot (H1N1 isn't available yet) and she said I'm looking good from her perspective. We talked about some of my on-going treatment effects with swallowing, dry mouth, sensitivity to spice, etc. She said she's confident those won't return to pre-treatment normal but many people continue to see improvement beyond 10-months where I'm at now.

Next set of scans on January 4th with a Doctor Appt to get results on Jan 6th. I'm trying to set a new record for earliest date in the year that a person maximizes out their insurance for the year. I THINK that I'll go to 6-month intervals after that, but I'll let them call the shots. I recognize I'm probably more qualified to make that decision but I'll let them. I'm trying to build up their confidence.

So, I'll hope for the best on my mouth/throat stuff, pour myself an ice-cold glass of Milk tonight to celebrate todays' scan results and settle back in to my comfort zone for a few months until my next set of scans.

Whoo-Hoo!
