14 month post follow up

I had a routine CT scan today. It's been 14 months since I finished treatments.  Come this fall it will have been 2 years since my diagnosis.

Here's the exciting part: New Barium shake flavor CITRUS
 It was not bad.  Though it still tasted like it was flavored by a guy who who grew up in a lab and never went out doors, and was told what citrus should taste like without having a basic concept of what fruit is.  Other than that, it wasn't bad.

My visit went like this:
Doctor: 
"Everything is fine, and where it should be.  Though how's your weight?"
Me:
"Sometimes about 5 lbs over or under where I usually am."
Doc:
 "More like 10."
Me:
"...yeeeah."

So I have another short check in in the fall and another scan in the winter.  I have about 3 3/4 more years left of follow ups and and scans.  Though in about a little over 1 1/2 years from now, I can just get a scan once a year instead of every 6 months.

We also celebrated Wendy's birthday.  I made a double layer coconut cake. I usually don't like coconut, but I made an exception.
It took her like 15 seconds to blow out the candle.
