My Best to You and Everyone Here

Thanks!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your kind words and encouragement. You've all been a great help from the very first time I posted here.

Everything is good. Contrary to going for the PET scan, I wasn't nervous in the least with this appointment. Even with the PET scan, I didn't suffer from scanxiety too badly. Just a few night before jitters and a little anxious waiting to get the prelim report which came a couple of hours afterwards. My team is very confident they eradicated Jack from my body and that helps me on the mental side of things. While none of us can predict the future, I've reached a very good place with my cancer and the "boogie man" in the closet doesn't frighten me. I know he's there but we get along just fine

As I stated in a previous post, the last month after the scan has shown marked improvement in physical and mental recovery. I still have a way to go before I reach the new normal but it appears the "two steps forward, one step back" phase of recovery has ended. Starting to work on my music again and working the vocals. The timbre of my voice has changed a bit due to physical changes to my oral cavity and I'm still healing but all looks fine for a full recovery and a return to performance by next year...maybe sooner. 

Blood work looks great and red and white blood cell counts are nearly normal. I still have lingering side effects and that's to be expected but considering what the alternative could have been, I'm in great shape

Positive thoughts and prayers to all... and always
