The type of cancer I had is reasonably likely to recur, and also reasonably likely to spread (metastasize).  Both are most likely to happen within the first two years–about four out of five times, in fact.  So if you get to the two year mark NED (no evidence of disease), statistically you’re doing quite well.

My two-year mark was May 1.  Or mid-April, depending on when you start counting.  But it wasn’t until last week that I had a CT scan to verify the "no evidence" part, and it wasn’t until this morning that we got the results: clear!

So big praise.  I’ve been waiting two years for today to get here, and while it doesn’t feel as relieving as it might, I think it’s mainly  because I don’t think about it as often as I once did!  At any rate, on the one hand, today is just a day from yesterday; on the other, today was pretty significant on the cancer front–as far as human medical knowledge can go.  Of course, God’s in control from day one.
