No evidence of metastatic disease

I had my 9-month post-chemo CT scan on Friday 30-Jan-2009, and have just spoken with Cindy in the Oncology department. She read back the results of the scan, and they indicate a stable lower quadrant with no evidence of cancer. I have an appointment with the Oncologist at the end of the month to prepare documentation for a possible extension to my Code-C profile (they call it C-Code, but that means something else to a programmer =P). So far, so good.

Last week I also found out that an article I wrote had been accepted into the Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications (PPNA) journal. Journals are generally regarded as more important than (most) conferences because they are peer reviewed and highly selective. This is a huge milestone toward my doctorate, and relieves a lot of pressure. I still have to submit two more articles, write the dissertation, and defend my work before I can graduate.
