Scan news

Just wanted to update everybody on my latest news.

I have had my 9 month scan and all is well. The mass has not changed in size, which is better than it growing. I had hoped it would get smaller but Dr. Bolger reminded me that it may take years for it to shrink and eventually be completely broken down by my body. 

I also found out that I have to go back every 3 months until I reach 2 years from diagnosis. This is not exactly bad, but I don’t love spending all day at the clinic. It still surprises me how the olfactory memories I have from last summer are so strong. I hate the smell of burned coffee and the hand soap that UAB uses. 

We are also talking about making a 1 year follow up with Dr. Einhorn at IUPUI Medical Center . We want him to see my records and sign off on how things are going. We are glad that my case wasn’t bad enough to warrant treatment in Indy, but in some way I wish it had because of Dr. Einhorn’s graceful and winsome bedside manner.

Thanks for your prayers.

Grace and peace,

Clay
