Three Year CT Scan Results-
The report reads- Unremarkable CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis with no evidence of residual, recurrent or metastatic disease. Findings are unchanged. The patient status is post prior sigmoid colonic resection.
I called the oncologist’s office because their blood work results were not yet online. I was told levels were in normal range, cea was 1.8, vitamin D3 level was within normal range and the only issue was that my blood sugar level was slightly elevated.
I lifted weights and swam at the Y between the time of the ct scan and the time that I went back to the ct place to pick up the results. When I got home, I was really emotionally drained (and did not fully appreciate how much impact the anxiety was having on me), so I took a good nap.
Thank you to everyone hear who shares their experience, strength and hope with me. I have been helped by all of you. I am not out of the woods, I am just taking steps in that direction.
I see my oncologist on Monday, but it will be anticlimactic.
