I really like my new oncologist!

Met him today, he's simply lovely. I liked him even more when he told me my CEA was 1.5 :shock: That's a new low!

See him again in 3 months. He said he likes to see everyone on a 3 month schedule for the first two years, then every six months for two years. He estimated I'd live to see 75. :lol: I'm going to shoot for 80.

Good news Amy!

That is my plan too except the want to do every 6 months for years 3-6 and then every year until year 10. I am perfectly ok with the expectation of being around to year 10!
