Had my 9-month check in with the oncologist today.

Despite getting the results of my CA-125 blood tests the week before (the numbers continue to be in single digits, which is excellent) and the lack of any physical symptoms, I still find myself anxious and unsettled as these appointments approach, and have a hard time sleeping as the 90-day check-in nears.

But according to my GYN Oncologist, I’m “doing great!” He wants to see me again in September — which will be one year after I finished all my treatments.

After that, unless something changes, he is moving me to a four-month cadence; a full year ahead of his normal schedule.

This is such welcome news. I continue to recognize how blessed I am to have responded so well to the treatments, and how lucky I was to be here at this place and in this time, so I could be treated by my doctor and his team.

Life is good.
