Hope the scans come back clean.

Good luck with the scans. Don't be too scared. Sounds pretty good from what you are saying. Be careful in the hospital and all the best!

I had no idea you were going through this. Good shit though. I'm happy for you.

Thanks so much guys.

I just got back from the hospital; they had things very well in hand with thermal screening at the entrances and the waiting rooms rearranged for social distancing, which did a lot to alleviate my anxiety. The actual scan itself took all of 5 minutes; I'll find out the results on Monday, so in 5 day's time.

It's gonna be a very anxious wait til then, but my last two scans in January and March came back clear, (well, clear as in nothing outside the main tumor, which is now gone) so hopefully nothing has changed in the five and a half months since, especially since the tumor itself has been absent for four of those months. 

I apologize in advance if I'm a bit more emotional or hyperbolic than usual in the coming days, anxiety sometimes has that effect on me. I'll try my best to keep my cool.

Glad to see you setting some sort of goal. FOr me it is totally opposite to you. My principle destroyed the love of running for me in primary school. Just because you good at something, they shouldn't force you to run every bloody morning at 7am before school lol.

Hope you get well and recover completely even faster than the most optimistic predicions.

You've been taking it seriously, you've been active, and you've had good January and March "report cards". I think you've earned another all-clear, and I'm rooting for you :)

How did I miss ths till now? I gues its safe to say I have been nowhere near as active on here as I used t be.

Now I feel horrible!

I just caught up on the thread and it's strange following all your progress like its one big novel with happy endings and then sequels. But its been a ride.

I believe you will continue pulling through, if nothing else, you have strength and optimism in spades and I sincerely believe that's the extra oomph the body needs to fight for you. My prayers go with you.

My first post-op scans came back clean!

Far out, I cannot overstate the relief I feel.

I'll be getting these scans every four months for the next several years to keep an eye on it, but for now, it looks like I might just have beaten it!

Thank you all for your kind words and support, it means a lot to me.

As someone that has to deal with anxiety as well, I know how you feel.

Having to wait a few days for something like a medical result can be such a pain in the butt. But I'm very happy to know that everything is going well for you!
