Hooray, I got a CT scan this month, July 2016, 3 years later, and I am "still in remission". Dr Oliver Press is my new doctor (Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) and he wants me to get a check up every year but another CT scan can wait two years.
Meanwhile, a woman I know, a friend/acquaintance, chose Death with Dignity. I am glad we have that option in Washington state although I understand it's not that easy to get, especially in cases of dementia, etc.
Do your paperwork, is the lesson. Five Wishes, POLST, advanced directives. Yeah, it's unpleasant, but so important.
Dr Press has died! Of cancer! he was a good man and good men are hard to find. So it's very sad.
