    Just updating my thread.

    I had my regularly scheduled 2 month appointment a little while ago, my chest x-ray results and tumor markers are still all good. In about a month or so, I will have my next appointment, if that goes well it will be 1 year all-clear!

        Just keepin' the ol' thread and you folks up-to-date. This past week I had a blood test, chest x-ray, and CT scan... And guess what... Everything came back a-okay! In fact, the only suspicious node my oncologist was concerned about shrunk from 1.0 cm to .6 cm, my lungs are looking great, and all blood markers are well within normal levels.

        Which means... I am now "one year all clear"! Yes, it is hard to believe that it has been one year since I lost lefty. Even though I know this isn't over yet, I just wanted to thank everyone for helping me to make it this far with all of their extremely helpful advice and support. All of your words have made this way easier on me than it could have been... Thank you for being here!

                      Just wanted to pop in to update the ol' thread. Had my first two-month appointment since "one year all clear", and all chest x-ray results and tumor markers were normal. Gonna keep on truckin' till next time!

                              Thanks guys! Also, I forgot to say, I haven't been able to stop in on these forums as much as I'd like to lately, but I have set to be notified by e-mail if I get a private message, so I'd be happy to offer any words of encouragement or advice if anyone needs to get ahold of me. You were all here for me, so I'm here for you. Just nudge me if you need anything.

                                What we need most from you is more "all clear" reports, so keep 'em coming!
