Mike Judge vs Ewing's Sarcoma

I was scheduled to have my appointment on Black Friday, but I had to cancel it. On my way up to Pennsylvania, I got in a car accident. I was one of two people rear ended by the same person. It was not a chain collision, just a crazy person paying more attention to the dog on her lap than the road. At least no one was injured and her insurance is going to cover all of the repairs and everything, but it ruined the holiday and plans for the appointment. Also, I just purchased the car this summer, and it was just under 2000 miles. I unfortunately had to stay in Richmond by myself this Thanksgiving. So onto what you came on here for. I had my appointment on December 1st, and the results are both good and uncertain. There are no new nodules anywhere, but the nodule from the last scan grew slightly. It grew from 5.7x5mm to 6.8x6mm. It is in the exact same spot as the one that was removed. In fact, the radiology report compares it to the nodule found in January, as if it's the same one...

I've been keeping some very bad news from you. I have been quiet because I didn't want to put anything on here until I knew all of the details myself. I had all of the info when I wrote my last post, but the bad news would have erased all of the good news I had to write about. This one will be long, maybe my longest, so be prepared. Well, with that out of the way, here are the details... June 30th, I had an appointment with my oncologist for my 3 year scans. As you know, I always have my scan the day of the test. Thus, my oncologist doesn't have a final report at appointment time; sometimes a preliminary report, but not always. As usual, he looks over the scan himself, and gives me the good news that it's all clear. This time was no different. Afterwards, we made a stop at Ikea on the way back home. I bought a ton of furniture for my apartment. Everything was going great. We had a Fourth of July/College Graduation party going on the next day.  The next day,...

Well, its been a year since my last update.  Here's what's happened since then... College I finished up my last year of college. I graduated with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. I finished Magna Cum Laude in the College of Engineering (Top 6% of class). I'm very proud of myself. Graduating college was a very distant goal four years ago when I was being pumped with chemotherapy. I even finished with better grades than before cancer. This is because I became even more driven after going through cancer. Also, after going through my treatments and returning to school, my studies became an important outlet for me to escape or at least not think about what had happened. My obsessiveness with my studies definitely helped my grades too. Moving out to Penn State my junior year was the best thing to happen to me psychologically since being diagnosed. My mood and energy improved a lot. Graduating college means so much more to me than just receiving ...
