Unremarkable

There are few times in your life when it is nice to be called "unremarkable." At scan time, it is quite nice.

My liver is now "unremarkable." It looks just like any normal liver, meaning no mets. The bone mets are sclerotic, essentially like scabs or scar tissue. My primary tumor in my lung is 16mm, which is slightly smaller than a dime.

Unremarkable feels pretty remarkable to me.

Ha! Awesome! What does this mean as to prognosis and treatment?

Thank you, Kristin! You can uncross all your things now.

Well, stage IV is almost always considered incurable, so the goal is to manage it as a chronic illness for as long as possible. I will keep taking the daily meds and we will keep scanning every few months. If/when something starts growing again, then I will have to switch to a new treatment.
