I visited the doctor on Thursday for my CT results.
The CT scans from January show "no evidence of disease!" It really doesn't make any sense to me and it is really just starting to sink in but they say I am tumor free! I argued but he insisted it's true. I just don't understand that after nearly 2 years of assault on my body now after 2 months of doing nothing...It's just disappeared!
I will however need to continue with chemo. It will be on the same schedule that I have been on. So weekly chemo and daily shots will be my routine for a few more months. He wouldn't commit to the exact amount of time but he said a few months until I get to the point that I feel like I'm gonna die. Thanks! That is such a crappy feeling, I can't wait to revisit it :(
There was another twist to my results. It appears that I have a sizable cyst (?) on my left ovary that is cause for concern. I've always been aware of a cyst on my ovary and liver but they've never been concerned about them. My last scan in September showed no such cyst on the ovary and suddenly the January shows one 5 times the size.
I've had my problems with these "parts" but always chalked it up to the assualt on my body....radiation and chemo. Last year the doctor tested and confirmed that I was in early menopause so I suppose this could be related. Who really knows?! It just really sucks to have something else to deal with! I feel like it just never ends....
But I'm tumor free :-)

ReplyDeleteIt feels good to say...tumor free!
I found your site awhile ago and have been following your journey. I too have/had a desmoid tumor. I just finished 9 months of chemo and so far I don't have any growth. I'm glad you got good MRI results too! That's HUGE!!
