Just got out of a meeting with the doctor, who told me I am tip top, good as new. Woohoo!
I danced out of there wanting to shout to everyone, "I AM CANCER FREE!" Funny though, I looked over at Mathilde and she was crying! I told her it wasn't fair if she acted the same whether it was good news or bad.
I have to confess, I was pretty nervous going into this one. In many ways, I feel great now, more healthy than I have felt in years, but there were a few things that have been bothering me. I started getting night sweats last week, and I found a lymph node under my jaw. The night sweats weren't too bad and the lymph node not that big, but they were enough to worry me considering the circumstances.
The night sweats went away the last few nights when I made sure I didn't eat anything before going to bed, and the doctor checked the lymph node and said it was a normal size. He showed me a picture of my PET scan and we could see I was spot free.
I go back again in three months. But as I said in my last post, that will be a different story. This one was the big one - the fight is over and WE won!
Thank you to everyone for your wonderful support through a rough time!
