    Talking 2 years cancer free

    Last week I got an all clear on my CT Scan and blood results and as my chemo treatment ended two years ago in April I am officially 2 years cancer free!

    For whatever reason, maybe because the statistics look better after two years, this was always a huge milestone for me. After two years of worrying every single day about a relapse I finally feel like I can breath a little, like I am just starting to see that light at the end of the tunnel.

    I know it can come back, but I am feeling hopeful for the first time in a long time. Just wanted to share with the amazing folks who are part of this forum. Fingers crossed for all of us!!!

    Diagnosed 1.16.08
    Stage 1 T2 with vascular invasion, 4.5 cm tumor
    Cell type:
    79 percent embryonal carcenoma, 20 percent seminoma, 1 percent yoke sac tumor
    Left I/O 1.22.08
    3 rounds BEP finished 4.15.08
    CT scan, Chest Xray clear, AFP 4.2, All Clear 4.28.08
