Have just finished the usual round of 3 monthly tests, scans and review and pleased to say, in fact I'm ecstatic. I'm in the clear. Next check up is in 6 months with blood tests only. No pet scans, no ct scans. Just the blood tests then on to my oncologist for a review. Can't ask for anymore than that.

G'day All. It's been a while since it was last asked. Are You OK? For myself, I'm great. On the road again for a while and while there has been a few bouts of minor problems everything seems to be good. My Doc has reviewed my meds and we are both happy with the results. Hoping that you are well too. Cheers.
