Oncology follow-up
I very recently had my 6-month periodic follow-up examination by my oncologist. It is now 3 years since my radioimmunotherapy treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Stage IV.
A brilliant and delightful person, he said to me with a smile, "You are such a boring patient". How special these words were to me. "Boring" means no evidence of cancer. Boring means that all blood studies are normal. Boring means that the patient is aymptomatic.
I'll be happy to be called boring for years to come.
