Lauri's Checkup - Good News!

Lauri and I returned to M.D. Anderson today to get the results of Lauri's chest CT scan, X-ray, and blood tests.  We have these checkups every 3 months to check to see if the cancer has returned.  The good news - Lauri got a clean bill of health!  The radiologist report reads "No evidence of metastatic disease"!

This was a nervous appointment for us; it marks about 1 year since we found the last nodule in Lauri's lung.  For the past four years or so, we've returned to M.D. Anderson to find out the cancer had returned about 1 year after the previous finding.  So while we were very hopeful, we were worried we'd remain on schedule, and find another nodule this time around.  Thank God, not this time.

We are due to go back for another checkup in December, and I'm sure we'll be nervous again.  But for right now, we've broken through a barrier we've been working a long time to break.
