Today I met with Dr Sharma to get results from a CT scan that was performed Monday. It was good news. He couldn't find any trace of cancer anywhere! Ha ha stupid cancer.
It now comes down to the end goal of staying cancer free for two years. If we get there my doctor would declare me cured! As mentioned before, the likelihood of this is only 15%, but that's better than zero! This is because it is metastatic, which means it has traveled in my body (from my colon to my liver). There could be dormant cells, which chemo doesn't kill, that could get angry later.
To continue the fight, we will do 5-7 more chemo treatments, two weeks apart. The first one was this afternoon. We will do another CT after the fourth one. How many I end up doing depends on my tolerance. I am planning to go back to work on August 8 which is a few days after my second treatment. So it seems we are moving closer to normal 😜
Thank you again to all who have offered prayers, brought over meals and treats, helped in our yard, called, texted, etc., etc., etc. you come to realize that people really care! It is overwhelming and deeply gratifying, and has left us with great peace in our home.
As always, Go Fight Win!
