Good news
I met with the PA on Dr. Chow's team yesterday and she let me know everything looked great with my scans. What a blessing to hear those words. Jazz brought up a powerful point in a previous thread when Bryn told us about her upcoming surgeries. It's an awkward situation sharing the NED news, but also being sensitive and…

Stanford Cancer Survivorship Program

CT Scan Results
I had my annual CT scan yesterday. First in, first out. I even had the same tech as last year and we remembered each other. He did just as good of a job and, surprisingly, the results were posted on Stanford's health portal already, 24 hours later. Another year of NED. This was my fourth anniversary scan. Last year, they…

33 Years Old - Just Diagnosed
Hi All, I am new here, but I am glad I have found this resource. I am shocked to get this diagnosis because I'm an otherwise healthy asymptomatic 33 year old guy, non-smoker, not overweight, clean yearly labs, and no history of cancers in the family. I had food poisoning twice in 30 days, so I asked my GP to order an…

Scan Time
Well, I'm at the four year mark from surgery. I have a video appointment with the Physician's assistant in two weeks. My CT is on Wednesday. This past Tuesday, I had a blood test and a chest x-ray. The chest x-ray was clean. I scored a 1.02 on creatinine and 73 on eGFR, which is right in line with last year. My blood sugar…
