Clean scans!
It's a happy day here--all of Steven's scans were clear. We had a long day that frankly just feels overwhelming to document. Here are all the appointments we had today: prosthetist, orthopedic surgeon, audiologist, nuclear medicine (bone scan), ct scan, xray, and hem/onc clinic. We started at 9 and finish around 4, with about an hour break for lunch. It was a big day full of questions and answers and worries. Happily, in the end we had good news that all is well for Steven. He will get his port out next week sometime and then get scanned every three months for a while. He was really worried about his audiogram, but he did pretty well. He definitely has hearing loss, but not enough to need hearing aides. That could still change, but we'll cross that bridge if we get there.
