I finally had my follow up to my November surgery with my oncologist, Dr. L. We laughed together that we were both good with the results and figured each would call if we needed to see each other before today. I guess we are getting good at this.
He confirmed that there was nothing concerning to him and he was glad to have the pathology as part of my cancer history. I did ask how it could change grades and then go back to the slow growing lymphoma. He said that isn't normal but because we radiated the area, that could have impacted it. He felt around and didn't find anything concerning. We agreed no treatment or further X-rays at this time but to come back if I feel something before I see him in 4 months. That takes me out to Mid-May before I have to think about my cancer again. Dr. L and I agreed that we would like 2014 to be lump free since 2013 was not so. I sure like Dr. L!
So all good news. I feel good about it. No cancer thoughts for me.
I did try to pick his brain about Mars' diagnosis. He didn't bite. I suspect it is too vague of diagnosis to say much. I did pick up a sheet on resources that I will share with Mars and John when I see them next.
