I am elated and grateful to say that my first post-treatment MRI (with contrast) looked great! There was no evidence of disease and the lymph nodes in my neck that they were watching are now well below a cm in size.

Charm, it looks like our promise to cross the finish line together worked!

I'm so grateful to all of you, I cannot even get the words out. I need time to process this. Cancer, don't come around here no more!
