I see my oncologist, Dr. Dormady, every 3 months. He is only 3 years older than me and always very cheerful. I like going to see him. I had a regular appt with him this morning. He said "Mikiko, you hit the 2 years mark, so that you will have to see me only every 6 months for next 3 years." It's been 2 years since my last chemotherapy. It seems more than 2 years in some aspect, but also, it seems less than 2 years, too. After I see him every 6 months for 3 years, I will see him once a year forever. He said I can come to his retirement party.
I might forget how sick I felt with chemo drugs but I won't forget how confused and helpless I was. Every time I go into his office, I see other cancer patients. I pray for them to do well and get their health back as soon as possible.
