What's next??

After Kristoffer recovers from this round of chemo, we will have a final CAT scan on the 28th. Then he will have his heart checked to make sure no damage was done during chemo. He had it checked halfway thru and it was normal. Then we will have our final appointment with the doctor on November 9th. We will find out the results of all the tests at this appointment. Then we will be done!! Yeah!! They will do a CAT scan every 3 months for the first year to make sure nothing is coming back! After that I think they do a CAT scan annually. These scans will all be compared to the scan he gets on the 28th. I will be a nervous wreck each time he gets a new scan. The one on the 28th should be normal.

We'll be keeping our fingers crossed and praying for you. I can't even imagine the anxiety of those 3 month and annual scans.
