Feb 2023

I was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2013 -- hysterectomy, chemo, radiation, the whole works.

It came back in 2017 and I had another round of chemo. And it returned again in 2019, with no chemo left to try. But a new immunotherapy treatment had been developed in the meantime, and I qualified for it.

It's now 2023 - ten years since my original diagnosis - and I am cancer-free. So far. I have my semi-annual CT scan scheduled next month.

All that you can do is live. Every year new treatments come along, miraculous treatments. All you have to do is continue to live your life until science catches up with you. And enjoy that life while you have it!
