Today I saw my oncologist. The biggest thing on my mind at this appointment was to discuss frequency of future PET scans. I want to push out the frequency to 9 or 12 months and was ready to defend my desire. I have 3 cancer-free years under my belt and all my scans have been clear without a doubt. I feel great which also speaks volumes about my health. No sweat.......she was completely on board with moving my scan frequency to a yearly interval. She gladly agreed I am ready for this big change. Yeah!
Each March 25 I celebrate another cancer-free year. In two weeks, I will have 3 years. The first year was big, the second year was better; but three years feels incredibly significant. THREE YEARS! That's big.........so far away from those cancer days. Before I know it, it will be FIVE. However, there is no magic number and certainly no guarantees, but I am hopeful I will continue to live a healthy, cancer-free life full of adventure..........the life of an outlier.
