This month's 6-month checkup signified a 2-year milestone since treatment ended and remission started. This morning I got the all-clear from my oncologist. She said that the chances of recurrence decrease each year I'm cancer-free. I still have to go back in 6 months for a checkup, but I won't need a CAT scan unless my blood work warrants one. Yay! Now my sights are on the 5-year milestone!
I still have to see my dermatologist every 4 months (which I'm trying to extend to 6 months), but I don't have to see my surgeon for a year. I'm seeing the benefits of that one awful month of intensive interferon treatment!!
