I had a CT scan done this week and found out that I am still NED after 3 years and 3 months. Hooray!
While I’m obviously relieved, it only took a couple of days for all the familiar anxieties to creep back in. What if the CT scan didn’t pick up something because it’s too small? What if it’s in an area that wasn’t scanned? What if the radiation from the scan causes a metastasis?
Maybe you’ve had similar thoughts.
Someone inevitably says “Congratulations!”, as if I had anything to do with it. I’d like to think the supplements I take and my diet helped, but ultimately it’s probably just the will of God, or luck. Whatever it is, I’m just relieved. At least until I start thinking too much about it.
I don’t check in here very often anymore, but wanted to post this update. Three years ago I never thought I’d last this long. I hope this can be some inspiration for those who have a more recent diagnosis.
You are all in my prayers.
