I'm going to go ahead and preface this post by saying that I kinda feel like when Jeremy and I heard the words "You are in remission", we checked out of cancer world and all was well...or so we thought.
- Jeremy had his 3 month checkup. For some reasons, the cancer markers (I'm pretty sure that is what they are called) do not pick up the cancer in Jeremy's body, so they have to do a more extensive version of detecting cancer like CT Scans and PET Scans. Test results came back and we are still in remission. Praise the Lord!
- Six month checkup rolls around and who on Earth would forget a very important cancer checkup appointment. Oh...Jeremy Johnson would, of course! So, an appointment that should have taken place much earlier, happened a little later than should have. But, what does that matter, there's no way cancer could come back this fast...could it??
- Jeremy went in and did blood work and a CT Scan for his 6 month check up.
Tuesday, April 29, 2014 - Jeremy received the call from Dr. Chalagala's office that they have found a spot. Jeremy called me immediately, very upset and told me the news. I was so caught off guard. I immediately called back and spoke with Jeremy's current, wonderful, angelic new nurse Shannon. She is a gift from God. She informed me that he would need to return to do a follow up PET Scan on Saturday morning at 10. She said that what they found is very rare and the fact that it came back is very rare. She told me that if there was ANYTHING I need to know, any question I needed answered, to please don't hesitate to call her.
Saturday, May 3, 2014 - Jeremy called up to Kell West and begged for another appointment time because they time they gave him, he would be missing Savannah's soccer game. He was very upset about that. They told him that if he got out to Kell West early, they could possibly fit him in. He left the house a little before 8 and arrived early enough to hopefully get in. He got called back a little before his original appointment and an hour and a half later after the PET Scan, ended up missing the soccer game. :(
Saturday, July 19, 2014 - Jeremy was ready to Rock and Roll today. He wasn't excited to start a week long week of chemo, but he was excited to be done with it (or atleast what they had originally scheduled) for good! We woke up, got him all packed up and headed to the hospital.
