Super news!

I had CTs on chest, abdomin and pelvic area as well as leg MRI and all is good. In fact,I sort of got promoted. I don't have to have chest CT for 6 months (had been every 3) and others for another year (vs 6 months). Doc O felt I'd been clear a long enough and did not want me to have so much radiation from Cts. Also, he'd consulted with other docs at a conference and their frequency for cases like mine was all over the place, so he felt sure this would be ferquent and not put me at risk. He said if I started feeling insecure about it or felt something was not right to call and come in sooner. As long as he is comfortable with this, so am I! We did talk about the fact I've seen him every 90 days for 4 years, so if I start missing him I should drop by for a visit and bring a 6 pack of beer. Very upbeat and positive vist and great way to start a wonderful holiday weekend.

Next scans not till Dec so we can make vacation plans probably through year end with out fear of any changes or surprise treatments! It is very weird being this "free" but a weird I really want to get used to feeling!

Assuming no problems that pop up before, I probably won't blog again till mid December. All is good, and we are attempting to live a very normal, and boring life! Yea!

Hi Geri,
I'm so pleased to hear you've had another all clear set of scans! That's fantastic news and you must be feeling very relieved. I hope we will be seeing you and Dad soon. It's a beautiful sunny day here today (shame to have to be at work). Speak to you soon. Becky xx
