Tom here,
Amy’s last doctor appt. proved to be the best one yet. No more visits til October. Yippee!
All the scans look good and Amy is starting to feel better. Although she still has a few side effects from the Chemo. The one that is driving her crazy is the pain in her joints. Dr. Sjak-Shie said that this is normal, but Amy says normal hurts like heck!
The follow up will be in October for blood work and such, then in December she will have a set of CT-Scans. This process should repeat again in another 6 months, then if all is well in 1 year. Dr. Sjak-Shie said that recurrence is most likely to happen within the first 3 years if it happens at all. But just as during the treatments, we are living life and moving on. Dr. Sjak-Shie gave us some great advice in the beginning. She told us “having cancer is a lot like being pregnant, either you are or your not. So if the cancer shows up again we will treat it”.
So that’s how we are moving on. Thanks for all of your support. This picture is from the Relay for Life Survivor Lap.
