    Blood work after 6.5 months

    I was scared enough waiting the blood test results after 6.5 months of no checkups. 5 min ago the onc called me and told me the results :
    HCG = 0
    AFP = 2.2

    I'm going to buy beers for me and my friends.
    All the best to all of you
    2005-03
    Stage III EC 85% + Sem 15%
    AFP=2.6; HCG=10, 20,28 and rising
    FULL CAT scan:
    -abdominal lymph clear
    -subpleural lungs metastasis [bipulmonary lesions with diam <= 1cm]
    4 x BEP changed to 3 x BEP at my request
