Meeting with Dr. C - the Radiologist

Yesterday, I saw Dr. C, my radiologist.  He came in and was all funny and smiling.  He said he knows he has to come in and look me in the eye.  Caught me off guard and I asked him why....he said because that is where my tumor was.   Hahahaha.  I finally got him trained!!!

He said when he saw in my chart I had a new lump, he expected to come in with a big dangler lump. I laughed and laughed because I always tell people I would never let that happen....and he knows that.

Well I was quick to point out my new lump.  But the day before, it seemed a little smaller.  But I showed him the lump.  He felt around and said he really wasn't concerned at all.  He said he doesn't feel anything that would make him think we were pending treatment soon.  In fact, he said he was so happy and "overwhelmed" with my response to the radiation results.  He did confirm where they radiated.  It was my entire eyebrow...in fact, probably above it about 1/4" or so and clear down to my lashes with my eye closed.  Over to the tear duct by my nose and out to the outer edge.  Yep...sounds like he took care of the entire area.

He went ahead and had me cancel my follow up appointment in Mid-October.  He said I should follow up with Dr. Litton who will send me back down when/if necessary.  He said this just all really confirms that my cancer is responding well to minimum treatment.  He couldn't have been more thrilled.  He said it should continue to shrink for another 2-3 months.  He was glad I came in and let him see it though.

So I guess I am done again and not going to worry about it again until it dangles.
