Another Lease on Life!

The CT Scans looked great! No sign of cancer. That's the two year mark! The bell curve predictions are now on my side.

There was even some talk of getting my next scan in twelve months instead of six months. In the end, we decided to play it safe and get another scan in six months.

The surgeon took a look at the scans as well because there is a pseudo-cyst attached to my pancreas that was result of some damage during surgery. It might have gone away on its own, but it hasn't. Now we need to decide if I want more surgery to get rid of it. The cyst may be causing some digestive problems that are keeping me from gaining weight. Its not a severe problem as it is, or risk if I go for surgery. The thought of being laid up with surgery right now is not appealing. So, I'm thinking about it. I will get a second opinion for sure. I'm not in any rush.
