I got some good news
So, had my first oncology appointment yesterday after my recurrence. I'm Stage 3 Metastatic, but it hasn't spread beyond the single lymph node that's got a tumor in it, and MAYBE a small mole on my scalp which they're referring me out to a derm to check out.
Either way, my doctor thinks that it's highly treatable, that outlook is good. I'm just going to have to stay on top of this shit for the rest of my life, most likely.
Breathing massive sighs of relief over here. I've been getting lightheartedness spells recently and I was so afraid it had spread to my brain, apparently it's just George (my tumor's name) poking up against my carotid artery and occasionally interrupting good blood flow.
I'll take it. Plan is for me to down a few months of Keytruda and then cut this asshole out of my neck.
