Today I got the results from the first checkup. And they were GOOD. We were very nervous because it would confirm or not our decision last December not to go back to chemo and wait to see of it shrinks.
We we made the right decision. Thanks to Matt, Dr Einhorn and my own doctor.
Phew!
The tissue that’s left has shrunk a little and seems to be scar tissue (that’s what it does, it’s just there and shrinks a little. Tumor tissue doesn’t). The lesions on my lungs have shrunk or even disappeared.
Lori and I are very happy!
Please come and celebrate the good news with us on April 18th.

Dear Maarten,
Yesterday I listened to your story at the Zorg2.0 event. I was impressed. And happy to read that the results came out good for you! Congratulations and keep up your positive spirit!
Lens! Wat fantastisch! Wat zul je opgelucht zijn….
Overigens las ik het nieuws zojuist op Twitter, waar ik mij had aangemeld. Maar ik begrijp er natuurlijk weer niets van… kun je ook met elkaar twitteren, of kun je alleen monologen houden?
Liefs
