Day 739 | Still Alive / Two+ Years

Made it to the two year mark on 12.02.18. Nothing significant to report except that I am still alive and well.

If all continues to be well (knock on all the wood and metal for safety)....I'll PET again next summer. 

Recurrence risk is highest from two to two and a half years, so will need to watch for lumps / bumps / etc. Risk starts to drop shortly thereafter, slumping after year three, and falling off a cliff after year five.

On the "watching lumps and bumps" note - I found an m&m sized lump under my collar bone a few weeks ago. I thought it may be subclavicular nodes. 

  I waited the requisite two weeks. Then, contacted my onco who had me come in the day after contacting them. 

  They did a physical examination and said there were a few spots that were troubling and sent me to ultrasound. 

  The tech cleared me. Negative for cancer. Most likely tissue changes from extensive radiation.

  PTL.

So, that's it from me. Two years and a week post-cancer stuff, still alive - doing my thing - momming, designing houses, strategizing, hoping that I can keep on posting about milestones.
