I feel a little bit bad that I never update this anymore. I guess my sense of urgency is gone? Well, in case people are still checking it:
I'm doing just fine.
It's been a couple of months now that I've been off of all treatment and we're basically just playing a "wait and see" game with it to see how things go. My last PET/CT was pretty much fine. There were a couple of possible future trouble spots in my right lung, but they were so small nothing definitive could be said. Maybe they'll be gone next time, maybe not.
I've been very happy that I've been free to do basically whatever I want. I've been working full time and having a grand old time doing it. My energy level has returned. Emily and I went camping last weekend (or the weekend before? I can't keep track).
I've been trying to exercise more. I've been doing alright at keeping a weightlifting schedule, though it's slipped over the last week. I finally got out and rode my bike last weekend. The route I took you can explore here.
My back has been hurting strangely for a while now which sure doesn't make me feel really positive about things. I had the PET/CT though after it started and they didn't see anything wrong and certainly nothing that would explain the weird pain. So I've just been ignoring it and waiting for the next scan to see if things are still normal. If they are I guess I'll have to go see some other doctor about what is wrong with me otherwise. I'm really not all that gung-ho to go subject myself to more doctor visits. I'm also pretty pessimistic about things but I'm happy that I'm enjoying myself now and hope that it stays that way.
