I am a Success Story and I have beaten The Odds!

I flew to Nashville last week for my One Year check-up. Started Thursday morning with around 20 vials of blood taken for labs. And then started the rest of morning with an EKG, a Pulmonary Function Test and finished the day with a Bone Density Scan. Started Friday at 11:00 with my 19th Bone Marrow Biopsy! My Long Term Stem Cell Transplant (SCT) Care Nurse Practitioner (NP) did the biopsy and then we had a short, good, talk before my Doctor came in (he is the Director of the Vandy/VA Stem Cell Transplant group). Did I tell you that my Team was the first to become a National Center of Excellence for SCT and, , , , , my Team is ranked Number One in the USA !!?? (I just can't tell enough people about it)!! My Doc came in and asked how I was doing and then told me that I looked good and then, , , , , , he said; "You are a Success Story and you have beat the odds". THAT is want you want to hear from one of the World's leading stem cell Doctors!!!!!!! Last year, before I started the transplant process I was given only a 30% chance of not relapsing by last week!!! He went on to explain more about himself, and his standing in the stem cell community. And then, to top it all of, he again told me that my Long Term NP had been with him for 15 years and had worked with him to establish the Long Term Care program, and such. She was standing next to me. And THEN, he says that he would say that she is Number One but, that he has been told by his peers in places like MD Anderson and Mayo Clinic that she is Number One in the WORLD for what she does!!!!!! OMG!!! It is so, so, hard not to get teary eyed when I think of the level of care I have been afforded.

All of the foregoing was pretty darn good to hear but, , , , , EVERYTHING hung of the results of last Friday's Bone Marrow Biopsy. Which just came in!!! I just got off the phone with my NP and she told me that given the blood cancer I had and considering everything I've been through, , , , , , the biopsy results are Outstanding and, , , , , I am cancer FREE!!!!!!!

I am not trying to be crude about it but, , , , , , FUCK CANCER !

More to follow after I decompress. It has been a very long 32 months.
