3/3 Follow-up

Hard to believe, but Dr. Keohan voted for no treatment. She told us she had given it a lot of thought and in the end decided that there is no proven benefit for me. Had my tumor been larger (10+ cm) or had it not been removed with clear margins, we would have been discussing treatment options, but as it stands, we're in scan and watch mode. I thought Ed was going to jump up and kiss her -- I even warned her to watch out -- and he's been grinning from ear to ear ever since. I'm still in shock, as I had made myself expect the worst. It will take a little while for the reality to set in.

I'll be having chest/abdomen/pelvis CT scans every three months with the reports and data on CD sent to her for review. My next appointment with her is at the end of May, so it looks like we might be able to take a little vacation. Hurray!!
