Hi Colleen, I thank you for remembering all of us on National Cancer Day, we all want to know someone cares about us, especially when we have gone through a few cat scans and they are looking really good, people seem to think,:" Oh she's back, everything is normal for her again, I'll leave her alone and
not remind her of the bad days" ( that's not a "feeling sorry for myself thing Ha" ) Anyway, hope your doing great and on May 10th I had a cat scan and it came out perfect, no spots, nothing, so I go for another one in 6 months, and if that one is the same, I will only need to go once a year, Yea. Good talking to you again. Stay happy and healthy. Lacey
Thank You Colleen...
Doing Excellent might I add. I am 6 month cancer survivor. And Happy to say that catching cancer early is the key to survival.
My Three month check up went well. Perfect Blood work, CEA was perfect and CT Scans looked good per the Hematology DR who is watching my lymphoma. She Said "If they are this good in August again, I can spread out my visits to every 6 months."
My Colon Surgeon who is watching me after my cecum cancer surgery. Said that "my CEA was looked great, which is an excellent sign. That reoccurrence is less than 4 percent they feel. I just need to be checked for polyps. So she coordinated that with the GI department to return in August. She was happy with my blood work and CT scans as well.
I am feeling well enough to work out in the gym 1 1/2 to 2 hours 3 to 5 days week. Plus walk a minimum of 3 to 5 miles a day, when I am not at the gym. I find I feel my best when I am doing a lot of exercising. I think releasing the endorphins increases my energy levels and my overall well being.
Happy Cancer Survivors Day 🙂
