Hi All,
It has been a while since i have last posted, pressures of family life and work, since July when I finished my 6 months of CAPOX, they called me in on the 10th Dec for a CT scan and blood tests, then the wait began.
Then on Thursday of last week my oncologist rang me out of the blue to inform me that after the MDT meeting and review of my slides and blood work they have told me nothing was detected and all my values were normal.
Next stage will be blood work every 6 months and then in Oct 2024 a colonoscopy and CT scan.
So life is now back to normal and pushing for another year NED.
