I signed on to post yesterday and read the news about Paul and then couldnt…

Woke up today feeling like I wanted to share some good news, but i do so somewhat hesitantly in light of yesterdays tragic news.

As a quick history…..diagnosed 1B sept. 2013, First recurrence in Nov of 2014, in same spot as primary, considered "instransit", restaged to 3B…… did vaccine trial ……had 2nd recurrence Nov. 2015…..same….this time did short course hi dose radiation…..(dec-jan 2016)…..then started Leukine injections (march 2016)….though i know most poeple wil say leukine hasnt been shown to have any benefiit when used alone…..i am in my last cycle and about to finish the year long treatment.

Tuesday had Brain MRI, and CTs of neck, chest, ab, and pelvis…

I am thrilled to say they were all CLEAR…..and onc's words were "scans are perfect, you are cancer free".

Will stay on 6 month scan schedule and hope things stay this way….I am now 1 year and 3 months out from last recurrence…..(3.5 years from initial stage 1 diagnosis) this is a good milestone since first two recurrences each happened about a year apart.

We all know this disease is tricky and can come back any time in any way…

For now though, I am going to enjoy the good news, and try and be a little less worried, at least until the next round of scans.

I wish posting good news didnt make me so sad for so many others here….

Best to everyone….

jenny

  Good news fuels the fight against this disease for me. It gives hope and a welcomed break from the sadness we seem to be faced with all the time. God Bless you and my prayer is clear scans from here on for you. Thank you for sharing your news.

  Jenny,
  
  Love this news! I know it's so hard to share good news when so much heartache is shared. I was so sad to log on and see Paul and Charles had lost their fight. It's so sad. Jake is good too. Not cancer free…but good.
  
  Happy for you. Really happy.
