I went to Princess Margaret Hospital today to see my surgeon, Dr De Almeida. It is a little over a year since my surgery, and he arranged a CT scan last week and called me in to discuss the results. For the past year, I have been seeing either him or the radiation oncologist Dr Cho every three months. If the CT Scan showed no trace of cancer, they were going to reduce the visits to every six months. The scan last week was of my head, neck and chest. There was no sign of any cancer in my chest, or in my neck or head, where the previous cancer had been quite aggressive. However, the scan did show that the remaining lymph nodes in my neck were larger than normal. They do not show to be cancerous, and it may be because of a reaction to the radiation I had. To be cautious, the Doctor is arranging another scan in a month or so, and then they will reassess. So, at this point, I appear to be cancer free, but they are continuing to check my condition. Needless to say, I am grateful for the amazing care I have received at Princess Margaret. It is considered to be one of the top five cancer hospitals in the world, and I am grateful that I live in walking distance of it. www.theprincessmargaret.ca Also many thanks to Audrey and Eli who have cheerfully accompanied me on my many trips to the hospital. I'll keep you posted about any developments in the future.
