ALL Clear!
Met with my oncologist today- 3 years and 6 months after chemo, and the latest reports came back All Clear! I'm heavy again, and cholesterol is slightly up, but we're working on that. In six months, if things go as planned, I will have what may very well be my Final CT Scan!

Outstanding, Joe! It is great to see how far you have come since your diagnosis. This will definitely call for some Scotch!
