Road to Remission
9 years ago
General
So, this is a long overdue journal posting.
But as of early September, I am now in remission! When my doctors looked at the scans of my body, they said they couldn't see any sign left of the cancer in system. So, huzzah! Now, it doesn't mean it's fully said and done with. I'm on a maintenance dosage of chemo until about July 2017. This is to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. If I can make it 6 years without the cancer coming back, then I will be considered "cured".
Nevertheless, I can otherwise lead a normal life again. I've already started working again and I never realized just how much I missed the daily grind! Thanks for those of you on here who've been at my side during the process. I can guarantee there were difficult days that you made easier.
Other than that... not much else to say here! I'm saving up for a new car, still going to concerts, including the Velvet Acid Christ show next year (since the band invited me to come as part of their guest list and chat before/after the show). Life is good!
