Tom Galli Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I had my consultation at 1 pm with my oncologist today but the good news came by email this morning: "Tom, I just reviewed your CT scan from 8/31/2020 and there was nothing new on it. Everything appeared to be stable so no evidence for recurrent cancer. I thought you'd like to know." So we had a pro forma consultation that unfortunately included news that he's retiring from practice and we discussed who I'd like to see when he retires. A number of us were getting scans today and I hope everyone's news is as good as mine. Stay the course.

LexieCat Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 GREAT news! Heck, I'll take good news if it comes by friggin' carrier pigeon.

ColleenRae Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Tom - You post so often helping others, I'm ashamed I did not even know you recently had a scan yourself. This IS excellent news. Couldn't happen to a better guy! Very happy for you. Sorry your oncologist is retiring, but I'm sure he was happy to give you this, his final report, with such good news. Okay, now that you and Teri have your trademark sign-off, the rest of us are going to have to get creative...!

Roz Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Tom, I also did an NED dance for you! I wanted you to know that I took your advice and will see a radiation oncologist on Thursday on zoom for a consult. I'll let you know if there's anything he suggests!! I most likely won't be on the Friday night zoom this week because my son is coming in for the weekend. But I'll fill everyone in at the one after that.

LexieCat Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Good luck, Ro--got my fingers crossed for you! And have a great visit with your son--I was so thrilled to see my kiddos this summer. It was a real upper. Roz and Tom Galli 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin wilki Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Being able to see family is the thing I live for!! Ro I’m sure hoping you get a direction from radiologist Please update here! I keep trying to get on the Zoom but last week I was wiped out from pulmonologist test and this week PET. After that the most dreaded test- biopsy. This will be my 3 rd. Under conscience sedation. That’s not the bad part. It’s waiting HOURS after for follow X-ray. No eating no drinking! Dread it! As well as what they find after and if I have any options.
