Well we just had our first CT scan post treatment --- and today we were given the great news that it was all clear ! I can breathe again ! Was some opacity in one lung but apparently it was there pre treatment and told it is unchanged. We were told we will follow up with monthly visits and scopes but will not have another scan until next August...I guess was a little surprised at that. sound normal? We vacationed last week ( much needed getaway for both of us ) and I got 9 pounds on him - was very excited about that. ( not so excited to learn I gained almost the same - lol) they have scheduled an ultrasound of his gallbladder as his bilirubin has been slightly up the last two visits, and he has had some vague pain in abdomen. Hoping all ok? Re dentist - we were never given any guidelines- do we continue to visit every six months or more often? Wanted to share our news, and of course I always have questions ! Thanks !
