The truth is everything has been going VERY well. It's been really rather boring on this front.
My new oncologist, Dr. Samad, who works out of the Horizon Health Network is great. He is calm and patient and most importantly answers all my questions and is respectful.
He has suggested I have a CT scan every 3 months, for 2 years. If these CT scans remain good then we can move to having them only every 6 months.
On my last CT scan, everything was looking great: Dr. Samad says that my lymph nodes have either gone down in size or stabilized and he was very optimistic about the state of my Lymphoma.
What's the catch then? I have a rogue tonsil. My left tonsil for some reason is unhappy and has decided to cause a ruckus. It is swollen quite a bit larger than the right and is starting to take up too much room down there.
I was sent to see another ENT, this time it was Dr. Geiberson. Strangely enough, he takes his patients at the ENT clinic at the George Dumont. So there I was, just over a year late run the same room where Dr. Robichaud hd diagnosed my Lymphoma in the first place.Dr. Geiberson sent a light down my nose and into my throat, and took a picture of my tonsils. He recommended having the tonsil removed for biopsy since the cause of the swelling is unknown. It may or may not be connected to my Lymphoma.
So I thought maybe I'd get an appointment in a few months, however SURPRISE! I'm going in on Thursday to remove the culprit.
I'm happy it's being done so quickly, to be honest my throat is sore a lot and the slightest cold bug makes me uncomfortable.
I'm also anxious about it, I mean I feel like I've come full circle, more tests more unknowns.
But you know, At least the ice cream will be good.
