So far so good...the onocologist has me on a chemo pill for the rest of my life, and the 30th I see the radiation doc for a update on how that went....MRI was yesterday, will get the results from rd doc.

Beyond that, okay!

No trace of cancer found, no type of disease at all found, so….
I do have to take a chemo pill every day, and every3 months go for an MRI.

 

Inconvenience, but beats the heck out of the alternative….

Which is even better news.  Sounds like you're in more danger of getting hit by a bus than anything else... Big Smile

I had to ask what he meant when he said “no type of disease at all” and was told he meant Alzheimer’s and or any type of degenerative brain disease….good, now if I could just remember where…..
