Cancer free until proven otherwise :)
Went over the scan with my doc. Complete response!
The reference lymph nodes shrunk to tiny size indicative of scar tissue.
Now I’m going to be on a maintenance dose of Avastin or a placebo.
So as you’ve heard me say before….CANCER FREE until proven otherwise!!!
Woohoo!Mike

So glad to read you are doing so well. Awesome! We love to read that you are well for sure! Enjoy Cancun!
Hi Mike, The water looks great ! I am glad you get to chill out. My ears have been ringing for years and as hard as it is to believe, you do get used to it and kinda tune it out. Sometimes I put my headphones on and just find some static on my radio to listen to. Sounds like a dumb thing to do , but for me it breaks it up. Glad you got your barn painted before winter set in, thats got to be a relief for you . Have a great time in the sun soaking up all the great rays !! Rocky
Got some hearing aids and it helps a lot with the ear ringing. They even have blue tooth so I can listen to tunes!
In Cancun for 2 weeks recuperating from the chemo.
Before we came some folks from my company surprised me and flew in for the weekend to repaint our barn. I had pressure washed it prior to chemo but I wasn’t up to painting. They came for the weekend to help. Such a surprise! I work with a great group of folks!
Best to all!
