Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've mentioned several times having had surgery for endometrial cancer on 7 April 2008. I have to have labs every four months until the oncologist tells me it can be every six months. Got my results for the January 2010 labs -- NEGATIVE! Only three years and two months until I can be declared cancer-free... and take the dream vacation Harry and I have been thinking of through the Canadian Rockies... on the Rocky Mountaineer. My oncologist also said that things looked so good that if these tests came back negative -- and she had no reason to believe they wouldn't -- that she would be releasing me. I still have three-plus years of tests -- one more at four months (in May or thereabouts), and then each six months thereafter, before I can be declared cancer free. But these can be done by my regular gynecologist, since I don't, in my oncologist's view, need her any more. (She says this is the way she likes to release patients.) That dream vacation is getting closer! — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Marilyn, Congrats on negative labs. I know how it feels--every time the mammogram comes back normal, I expel my breath in a big sigh of relief. I still say----why wait to take your vacation? The time to do it is now. I know there are other factors, but don't let the cancer run your life, Live for today, not tomorrow. Take that dream vacation NOW.
