Without getting into graphic detail, Marion went for her 3 month checkup today. She had a pelvic exam and the OB/GYN commented that everything looks healthy. From behind the curtain (as during the exams I hide), I asked, "Are you sure?" He assured me he was. The size of the tumor was "impressive" as the doctor said. Now, upon visual examination he told us everything looks normal. He said it was obvious radiation had been done, but besides that, everything looked fine.
She also had a pap smear (I really hate that word) done and they are in the process of scheduling a PET scan. However, everything seems to be going a-okay. I would imagine the pap smear would show some type of abnormality...but, maybe not. It's been a roller coaster of the past year. It was right around this time last year that Marion's troubles had started (at least on a scale that was measurable). A year later, after a few months of near constant treatments, it would appear things are going in the right direction.
We are joyous, but still treading cautiously.
