The news is still good. The PET Scan shows nothing except some scar tissue in the affected area, nothing lit up anywhere else. We saw Dr Banghar, medical oncologist, yesterday. He said everything looks good but he wants me to see Dr Najafian, the original doc who found & diagnosed the cancer. He said he can take a look, OUCH, with his sigmoid thingamabob and actually see if there is any tumor left. I will see him on Thursday next to set this up. Of course Dr Lee feels a digital exam is necessary but maybe I will now be able to avoid that. I will see Dr Banghar in six weeks and he said we will make arrangements at that time to have the port removed. It has to be flushed out about every four weeks and if we do get to travel at all this summer I don't want t have to worry about finding a doc to do that. My red blood count is still a little low so no running or jogging for me, gosh darn it!:-)
Now on to the real problem. I have been blonde my whole life. As a matter of fact my hair got a lighter blonde as I got older, imagine that. Like mother like daughter. Now that my hair is growing back in it is grey(shriek, horrors) and brown(??). How can this be? We will just have to wait to see if I want to grow old(er) gracefully or run straight to the beauty shop every six weeks. Jerry is happy about the money we are saving now but I am getting my nails done (shellac) so that keeps us about even.
More next week after I talk to Dr Najafian. Love and hugs to all.
