Yep. My chest CT scan and brain MRI scan are both clear. No sign of disease! Don’t know if that means I’m in remission, but it does mean that my immunotherapy treatment doesn’t change. Yay!
Sometimes it seems strange that I could be considered SICK, yet I don’t feel sick. Have never felt sick. It’s scary to think how oblivious I was to it all. Three years ago I posted on Facebook that I had a surgery date to fix my leaky heart valve. That surgery never happened because the chest scan showed a whole bunch of other stuff going on without my knowledge. That’s how NOT SICK I was feeling.
I’m so thankful for that scan, though. Thankful to have removed all the cancer that could be removed and thankful my treatments have destroyed what remained. I’m still here today, enjoying life. Can’t get any better than that, now can you?
Here’s what I read since my last update:

Blurb from Book: In retreat from a devastating loss and crushing injustice, Katie lives alone in a fortresslike stone house on Jacob’s Ladder island. Once a rising star in the art world, she finds refuge in her painting.
The neighboring island of Ringrock houses a secret: a government research facility. And now two agents have arrived on Jacob’s Ladder in search of someone—or something—they refuse to identify. Although an air of menace hangs over these men, an infinitely greater threat has arrived, one so strange even the island animals are in a state of high alarm.
Katie soon finds herself in an epic and terrifying battle with a mysterious enemy. But Katie’s not alone after all: a brave young girl appears out of the violent squall. As Katie and her companion struggle across a dark and eerie landscape, against them is an omnipresent terror that could bring about the end of the world.
Recommend: Yes
My thoughts: Lots of twists and turns in this one. Some back and forth in time, too—which only added to the suspense because it would occur when I wanted to know what was going to happen next! Very good horror read.
In May we plan on being in California to see my mom and to visit some National Parks. For 24 days. So what do I get in the mail? A jury summons for…May! Really? They could have picked almost any other month and I wouldn’t have had an issue. So I sent them a letter, along with a copy of the flight receipt (made back in July), asking to be excused (and moved to another month). Now I just wait and hope for the best.
Happy Reading!

They are usually good above moving jury duty to another time.
That's great that everything is clear! And scary to think how many people walk around that sick without knowing it.
Alex - It is scary! Even for those who see their doctor(s) regularly (like I do).
I'm thankful for you to be cleared. It is interesting how we can be sick and yet, like you said, not feel sick.
Thanks, Ivy.
