Today I had a follow up with my radiologist, Dr. C. I know we had a....serious....start to our relationship but I can't tell you how much I enjoy visiting him. Today he came in with a big smile on his face. I just love that. He felt around and though things were going "remarkably well". He was so pleased that everything felt good and he even commented that it appears everything is symmetrical visually and my skin has recovered pretty well. I totally agree. He asked to see me in a year unless I have further problems. I love Dr. C and all his staff. I would love to see him anytime but getting a 12 month pass from a cancer doctor is like winning a race. It is something to celebrate and be happy about.
It's been 4 months since I finished radiation. It almost feels like it's been way longer than that. As I mentioned earlier that I feel like the trauma is almost all gone and in the past. You might recall I didn't ring the bell when I was done with radiation. I guess because I know that the end of treatment doesn't necessarily mean you are done with cancer. But today, I rang my own bell in my head. It is days like today that I celebrate because I am still cancer free and living life.
Next cancer step is a full body CT scan next Friday and then a follow up with Dr. L the following week. I have my fingers cross that it will all come back clear.
