We met with the oncologist and I am officially in remission and will start the surveillance portion. This means that for the first year or so I will have my blood taken and a chest x-ray done every two months to make sure that there is no sign of the cancer returning. Then every 3-6 months, I will have a CT scan done as well. This will become less frequent each year until year 5 when they cut me loose. I see it as an insurance policy to make sure that I won't be caught off guard again.
I am feeling really well and the hair is coming back in. Not a huge afro like I was hoping for and it could be a bit thinker up on top, but no complaints here. I will report back the test results in May, but I hoping to have nothing to report!
