Today I had my follow up with Dr. L. I swear I could be an Oncologist. I suspected he would be pleased with what he saw. He was happy to realize my tumor isn't really growing very fast. In fact, we discussed that it goes up and down. Dr. L called that wax and waning. I like that. He said we worry about tumors that are steady and persistent. It most likely isn't aggressive like my eyebrow because it would have grown quite a bit by now. So we agreed that we don't want to do anything with it right now. He didn't feel we needed a biopsy or anything at this point. Too small for scans. We agreed to leave it alone and I will see him in 3 months. This means I get to go the entire summer without treatment or dealing with cancer. Next appointment is mid-September. I can do that.
So 3 months of ignorant bliss. I like it and will take it!
