    18 months All clear

    Hi,

    I am 18 months all clear since of today, and therefore my checkups is extended from 3 months to 6!

    Despite this I kindly asked my doc to keep doing blood tests for tumour markers every 6-8 weeks for a while longer, even if CT and visit to the doc is every 6 months, he agreed.

    Carlsberg Black Gold is a good way to celebrate this, but for those who choose to tag along any beer is fine, cheers!
