@carol1024 Your post shines with optimism and hope. My doctors have said that cancer research can now view cancers as a sort of chronic illness and that treatments and medications can stop progression. I do remember when the diagnoses of HIV and AIDS were dire with no treatments in view. That has all changed with the results of research.

I can relate to the feeling of anxiety awaiting scans and tests. That was every 6 months for more. Now it's annual. I'll be five years out in December from my endometrial cancer recurrence. My NP told me that if all looks good I can return annually. However, she also offered the option to return every 6 months if I want. I don't want that "lead" to be too long so I may opt for the 6 months check-ins. Anxiety and all.

Healing prayers to you as you go forward with treatment that is working and especially for good results (numbers going down) with the CA125.
