It's been a long time -- over nine years since I completed treatment. Had my usual physical and blood work, and my alkaline phosphatase came in a little bit high. They did a fractionation of the result, and found the liver component was high. Ultrasound showed three spots between 1 cm and 2.5 cm on right lobe, with suggestion that these were metastasis. Had MRI yesterday, and got the call from my GP this morning that he wants to see me on Monday to "discuss my results." We all know what that means.

So, it would seem that my journey begins anew. With the spots fairly small, and all within the right lobe, I'm hoping it's resectable. The folks at the James Cancer Hospital are amazing, so I have total faith that if it can be done, they will do it. It just really, really sucks right now . . .
