Hi,
I am just back from my 'test day' at UPenn Hospital and I am officially off their radar. I will know for absolute certain positive 100% sure sometime next week if they found anything unusual in me... but I am ready to blow the party horn right now. "toot, toot"!
My oncologist was very pleased to see me in such great health. She thinks I look fabulous. I guess compared to what she normally sees all day, I suppose I do. My scar tissue amazes her. I akin it to a lot of Yoga and regular massage therapy. Both have helped reduce the amount of scar tissue and 'ropiness' in my neck area. Beautiful I ain't but I don't shatter mirrors or frighten little children any more unless I want to.... and I can!
This takes me off the melanoma radar down at UPenn. No more regular check ups or serious scans every few months. It's been four years and that has been enough of a ride for me, than you very much. Dr. Schuchter, my oncologist, shook hands with me and said 'goodbye', hopefully for the last time. I love her, she was awesome but if I never have to see her, or UPenn again, it will all be for the better.
