Welcome to the sordid chronicle of my medical adventures, mishaps and triumphs with a side of assorted helpful links. Although I recently achieved that coveted clean bill of health, The Cancer Dancer will oh-so-gracefully trudge on as a means to share the personal and practical findings I continue to discover. Join me from the beginning (as the wide-eyed new patient) or join me now (as the seasoned survivor).

The BEST News!

After anxiously awaiting the results of my PET scan, I learned this afternoon that I am well on my way to beating this thing. My nurse's words: "the Hodgkin's has significantly lessened." This is all I know. Way too excited to formulate intelligent questions!!! More details will follow my appointment on Monday.

Having completed my second cycle (four treatments) of chemo, my doctor wanted to check the progress of my treatment.  I am just now able to spout out the names of my particular cocktail. Since I've traded vodka tonics for bleomycin,  I certainly was not interested in switching to a much more invasive mix with new confusing names and icky side effects.

A sigh of relief and a celebratory cheer are in order! This is really great news.
