Awesome man! Keep those all clears coming, stay on top of your surveillance schedule. Let cancer know you beat it, everyday!
I just got back from kaiser and this was my first visit post chemo. He said things couldn't look any better, markers normal, X-ray clear and CT clear!! What a relief. I go back in 2 months but for now it's party time. Life is good.![]()
