Got my latest scan results [View all]

Still no sign of cancer. My radiation oncologist released me from care today, as well.

I'll still go to my maxillofacial surgeon every six months, but a lot of what they both do is redundant anyway. I'll get my future scans through my surgeon and should anything arise, I'll deal with it then.

I was surprised to be released. A little worried, but then fewer visits means less travel. I have to travel 100 miles for one doctor and over 300 miles for the other.

I suffer from lymphedema but I can get that treated locally. Mainly massages and compressions, with pain medicine when it gets too bad.

But - the good news still remains: Cancer has not returned after 2 years.

Love you all!

Solly
