Sunday at 7:30 pm I got a happy call from my surgeon -- she got the results from the pathologist, and I have what is called "a complete response": disappearance of any signs of cancer. That in itself doesn't mean that the cancer is cured, only that the chemotherapy killed off whatever cancer cells we knew about.
The cancer cells might still be in the body and might start growing again.... but we don't worry about it now. I still have several Keytruda infusions (4) and over 30 radiology treatments to make sure the cancer stays away, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
