2013 update...
a couple weeks ago I had my annual followup visit ... the labs/blood work were fine. CT scan was normal/stable. the "prominent" lymph nodes have not changed since last year. follow up with dr. hei to review results was uneventful. so we continue with the once-a-year visits -- scans (regular CTs now), bloodwork, and dr. visit.
closing in on 10 years cancer free. hard to believe it has been this long already since all this started (Feb 2005).
