    18 Months Post-Chemo

    Hi Folks,

    Sorry I've been a stranger. Had 18-month post-chemo checkup today:

    AFP: Not Detected
    CXR: Negative

    Followup appointments will now be every 4 months instead of every 3. Neuropathy almost gone, tinnitus comes and goes but does not seem as bad.

    Life's been pretty good lately.

        Thanks, everyone.

        I'm now 18 months post-chemo and almost two years post-diagnosis. Since I'm writing the same thing in every update and I haven't been around this forum much lately, I'll give you all a rest.

        I have really benefited from everyone's support, it was wonderful during my difficult chemo days. Please feel free to send me a private message if anyone needs TC support or help with urologists and/or oncologists in the Phoenix area.

          I think we're all encouraged by "boring" status reports, when it comes to cancer. May there be many more in your future.
