On the right track.
December 10th, 2017

Last time I wrote on here it was the 4 year anniversary of being diagnosed with testicular cancer. Since then, I saw my urologist in early November and the appointment went so well that if my next appointment at the end of April goes well then I will only have to see him every year instead of every 6 months, but only if I pass the extensive testing he has planned for me. Fingers crossed.

To go with that, I saw my cancer doctor at Dana Farber Cancer Institute here in New Hampshire where I live this past Wednesday and that appointment went well too. Still cancer free after 3 1/2 years after my last chemotherapy treatment on May 27, 2014. If my appointment and CT Scan goes well in June 2018 the same thing will happen, I will be pushed off to every year seeing my cancer doctor instead of every 6 months. If this happens I will see my urologist every April and my cancer doctor every November as she wants to do this in November in case anything bad happens from April on. This way I will still be checked twice a year but by 2 different doctors spread out instead of getting checked in April and June.

All in all it's been a very good 2017 for me as my quality of life has improved by leaps and bounds. I have lost 120 pounds to boot since December 2015.
