3 month check up

For the time being, part of our recovery process is being reminded every 3 months that we are cancer survivors. That reminder comes in the form of a combination of cat/pet/bone/brain/mri scans and/or mammograms. Over time, these scans will become less frequent and hopefully less nerve racking, but for the time being, they are often and stressful.

This week I am in Seattle on business and Linda had a cat and bone scan. As real-life begins again for us, scans and doctor appointments are not always 'convenient', as was this case this week. Christmas came a bit early this year and I received the good news today. All clear...again!

I really wished I could have been there this week for her but, at least from my point of view, cancer is becoming less a focus of our life and more an aspect of it. I think that is healthy. Our circumstances and mindset from last Christmas as compared to this Christmas could not be further apart.

Congratulations babe...you kick ass!

Good for Linda! That's the best news, and I hope the testing gets less frequent soon, and less stressful.

Hug her for me, John. :-)
