Not So Bad

My doctor’s visit went pretty well.  Dr. Fanelle gave me a thumbs up.  He also said I can get my feeding tube removed.  The downside is I’ll have to have another PET/CT scan in the near future.  Despite the fact that I’m doing pretty good right now, I don’t want to get my hopes up.  Logic would dictate that if I’ve responded to treatment, the scans would have to reveal that and that I couldn’t be in worse shape than the original PET scan showed.  But, cancer is not a logical disease so anything is possible.

I’m Dreading Tomorrow

Going back to the Cancer Center tomorrow for my first post-treatment follow-up exam.  I’m really nerevous.
