Everything still looks good and he's still cancer free! I don't think we were as nervous this year for some reason. Maybe it happened so long ago (really only 3 years) that we've forgotten some of the emotions and seriousness of it all.
Anyway, Dr. K told him to go celebrate or something. We never do. We both just exhale loudly and enjoy the fact that we're both healthy!
Check ups are now only once a year for the next two years and then he's done. I told Dr. K that I wouldn't be ready to cut the cord then and he laughed at me. He said that in all of his years of being an oncologist, he's only seen testicular cancer recur 3 times. Everyone else has always been cured.
That's a huge relief. But then, me being me, I just had to know that if the cancer came back where would it come back at? The answer? The stomach, and usually you don't know it's back unless you're having routine blood work/tests. That's a little scary, but we aren't going there.
As we were leaving, Dr. K said, 'It's almost like it never even happened, this whole cancer thing.' I was like, 'Uh, almost.'
In my head I was thinking about the whole wecan'thavekidsnaturally thing. COME ON ASHLEY! Be grateful that your fiancé is alive and healthy! I'm sure when he said that, C was thinking, yeahexceptforthewholemyhairwillbethinandannoyingfortherestofmylife thing.
Cancer sucks!
