Finished Chemo 6 years ago

I had my regular MO appointment this week, everything looks fine. He told me that I can start coming once a year now that I'm so far out.

I was initially really excited and for the most part I continue to be. But I'm noticing some fear creeping in now. Also alot of memories have started flooding in. I sometimes just cannot believe this really happened to me. I guess I still have processed everything I went thru.

I have so much that I am thankful for today. I wasn't sure I would be here physically or mentally to be honest.

The struggle is real. Sometimes I feel it more than other times.

Well, me too. I think we need to realise how lucky we are and allow our hopes predominate over our fears. Sure, there are rough patches of mental anguish, butwe we’ve made it this far and so let the celebrations begin.

Tang&Chris - congrats on the move to one year appointments. Yes, it's hard not to worry, but this is really wonderful news.

Congrats! When that fear creeps in think of me, was put on 1 year check ups as soon as I finished my rads. Now that is a feeling of abandonment and real fear. I know the struggle is real. HUGS, stay safe and enjoy the little things.

Hello hello everyone!

Well my MO office called last week and said that the doctor wanted me to redo labs in a month from my last visit. Apparently they called before and I disregarded the call, I assumed it was about my Vitamin D levels which are always low.

I asked the nurse why the redo and she wasn't sure. My numbers were all in normal range, D was still low but getting better.

So I go Thursday to redo and I'm feeling a bit anxious. It's very likely that I'm wasting my time typing this out as it's nothing. For all I know MO made a mistake asking me to redo.

Just wondered if anyone had this happen and it was something.
