Great Christmas present my regular every 3-month post chemo checkup and all blood work and physical exam show me still in remission and " no evidence of disease". Great to be sporting hair this year. I'm now nine months out of chemo. Next check up will put me at a year post chemo. Have to say I've been feeling really good and strength feels good. Just bummed no skiing yet since I missed last ski season. Snow please. Thats ok....Yosemite next week for my birthday. I'll take it.
Thanks everyone for all your kind thoughts and support this past year. I miss Paul this year and wish he were here posting right along with me. Raising a cup of tea to him.

Well, that's wonderful news - one more positive step. It must be quite a relief.
And it sounds like the SuperTopo "Shave Our Heads in Solidarity with Susan" event has been indefinitely postponed.

A year ago today was my final chemo infusion (six of six over 5 months). So far all checkups "no evidence of disease" ...hoping to stay that way..next check up end of month on my son's birthday...good omen for continued health.
Looking forward to Gordos this year with hair! Yeah...
Susan
PS. My public service announcement....err bully pulpit....all guys and gals...stay up to date with check ups, tests, whatever you need for your gender or age. There can be second chances or at least decent extensions of first chances...and especially with sunny weather around the corner...don't let our outdoor lifestyle bite us in the butt.
Missing you Paul.

My latest quarterly checkup and blood work....still in remission! I'm 15 months out from my last chemo. It will be two years in October when i was first Dx.
I hope other STers that are currently struggling with health issues will find their way back to good health also.

Gawd, the (in this case, online) world is a trip. When I read the content and date of your original post, I sucked in a deep breath, knowing I had committed to reading a story that might have a sad end. Thanks and congratulations for making it a happy one!

I have GRADUATED! I successfully completed chemo 2 years ago with clean scans and checkups since then, and I now move from checkups every 3 months to every 6 months.
It's a great feeling, but I am forever humbled by those that didn't make it this far and will forever feel a responsibility to live my life with fullness and purpose, carrying forward the memories of too many from this forum.
As any cancer survivor knows, we are never "out of the woods" but to live with the paralysis of "what might happen" diligently needs to be replaced with
Thanks all my campfire buds for all the grace you've always given me!
