It's been two years since I was diagnosed and I recently received a clean bill of health. My CT scan looked good, Dr. Shorty said. However, some blood work revealed my thyroid is elevated (or low, I can't remember what the higher number means, hypothyroid I think), so I'm on meds for that while I wait to see an Endocrinologist. Because a girl can't have too many doctors in her life. ;P
Of course, I'm stoked to still be in the clear. I don't take it for granted and I appreciate being able to keep on truckin'. In fact, I just ran the IU mini - with the entry fee going toward scholarships for students who survived cancer - and did excellent. Two hours and 14 minutes. That's way better than the 2:47 minutes I did pre-cancer 5 years ago (and in the heat of the summer). woot!
