Yet Another Health Update

More good news from the doctor this morning. Well, good in that he reaffirmed that my surgery seems to have gotten all the nasty stuff, and that blood tests and scans show no signs of any lingering cells anywhere.

That said. Every 4 months for the next 2 years I have to do a blood test to check my markers to see if they’re still good. Plus, every year for the next 2 I have to have a yearly colonoscopy. Then, the following 3 years, twice a year blood tests, plus the colonoscopies.

Five years seems to be the point at which they say your are less likely to have another occurrence but still, I will be doing blood tests and colonoscopies probably for the rest of my life. Something I’m more than happy to do if it means I never ever have cancer again!

So dear Ladies and Germs, listen to your friendly Alexandra and, for the love of life and your families, please, please, go get tested every other year. Get scoped top and bottom and make sure you too stay healthy and on the right side of cancer.
