Mark is having his last chemo infusion right now. Just called to say he spoke with the oncology Dr. and his CT scan from Friday looks great, no signs of cancer at all. As of right now he's officially considered "in remission" (they don't use the 'cured' word or 'cancer free' until he's been in remission for several years).
In 3 months (so around the end of November) he's scheduled to visit with the oncology dr. again to see how he's feeling, how he's healing/recovering from the chemo, and do some blood work. 6 months from now (end of February) he needs to have another CT scan done, and this time next year he'll have another colonoscopy to confirm no return of cancer.
Now if we could get the surgery scheduled to see if his colon and all the muscles are ready to function normally again.....
We're planning a small family "no more chemo" party for Mark on the 3rd of September. Definately something to celebrate!
