On Monday I had my 12 week PET/CT, yesterday the H&N doc showed me the results and told me its clean! It is still sinking in - Tonsil with 2 nodes stage IV advanced diagnosed 6 months ago - and now gone - I see the rad/onc in 3 months for a look see, the onc in May for his look and the H&N guy in another 6 months - they follow me 2-3 years then out to 5 - No more scans unless they suspect something.  Modified barium swallow was all positive, no hangups - food tates really good, life is good.  It would be way too little to say thanks to so many, especially all of you who go me through this - I hope this never comes around again - thank God, the docs, all of you, my wife, kids, friends - wow, it is amazing how people can care so much and give so much to help others out - I feel very fortunate - just wanted to share -

Steve

 

ps. I think I finally was able to upload a picture with my youngest - is there any better reason to fight on -

Love you all so very much

 

Steve

    yeah

    Feels damn good to be looking into the rear view mirror, at least some of the time. We are on bumpy road for a couple years then it really does smooth out from there. Whooohooo.

    Chuffed

    For you. Which is another way of saying delighted over here in Liverpool. I start treatment next week. I am also 'chuffed' that you can eat. Long may it continue. All the best. G.
