in Head and Neck Cancer #1
I just had my year and a half ( almost ) exam and my Dr. said everything looks good. This was my first appt after switching to every 3 mos instead of every 6 weeks. After waiting 3 months I was jonesing to get in there and get checked out.
The scope was a little more uncomfortable than usual because my doc was having a new guy give it a try....YAY ME!
I was so happy that not even a speeding ticket on the way home could bring my spirits down.
I wish everyone here was getting great news. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

    Congrats
    Congrats on your great news Joel. It's a long, long journey with mostly news that's not so great early on so when the good news starts to come, well, it's certainly worth celebrating. Do it right and enjoy.

    Cancer Card
    Congrats on the good exam Joel.....

    I guess I forgot to tell you about the Cancer Card....

    You know that you can always pull out that cancer card on occasion and just once in a while it'll pay off.

    I had to use it once for a speeding situation also...officer asked why I looked so different than my license.

    Had to give him the down low and skinny, maximizing the cancer card... I was going through chemo at the time, no hair syndrome, LOL...

    He gave me a warning and told me to take care and slow down...

    Best,
    John

    I keep my MD Anderson card in my pocket all the time to help me get water through security check points. Have not tried it yet for speeding, thanks for the tip John, it don’t take much to put on my ugly poor little me face….

    Yay You
    It IS an odd feeling to increase the time between checkups. Glad you're still testing well.
