I fear relapse because relapse will show that it's serious about getting me. So glad you're doing okay, let's hope we both have seen the last of such things.

Yeah, I say I'm too busy to relapse. I lost 2 years already, I've got things to do!

 

[3goodeggs]

That is my hope for you both as well!

NO RELAPSING ALLOWED! Only remission!

 

[oldhenlikesdogs]

I wasn't aware of that, that's good to know, I'll stop worrying now, lol.

thanks both of you.

Wish it was really that easy. And no worries. Wow! How freeing would that feel?

Wish it was really that easy.  And no worries.  Wow!  How freeing would that feel? 

even after 18 years the worries never go away...but after a while they tuck themselves in someplace and stop hounding you in between labs and test.

I wish folks understood remission can be almost as nerve wracking as treatment! I feel like my Dr office thinks I'm some kind of obsessive freak about my labs. But, having relapsed once and they didn't catch it, I think it's totally understandable. They're not the ones that are gonna die if this comes back, I am. So yeah, I'm kind of control freak-y about my results. Deal with it.

Yeah I stress every blood test....

I had a check up with my chemo doctor yesterday, the last blood work showed my main test as very slightly elevated and he said not to worry, of course he would.
