Clean Scan

We met with my oncologist today and the scan looked good! The tumor is unchanged, and there is nothing new.
That is as good as it gets in my world... I feel relief and will stay the course till the next scan in another 3 months. My doctor wants me scanned every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months after that for another year or so.

Apart from diet, exercise and naturoapathic supplements, I am trying to stay focussed on my mental game... it's difficult to embrace a "normal" life when I know that I am living very close to a precipice. This first clean scan, makes it easier to believe that I might just get through this... That's the plan.

The rest of the summer will be full of travel, picture making and family...
