Technology is both terrifying and amazing at the same time. Did you know the hospital keeps a sample of your tumor for 15 years, just in case there’s a medical breakthrough or—even better—someday a cure? I found this fascinating.
One of the cutting-edge tests is called Signatera. They take a sample of the DNA from your specific cancer and then test your blood for traces of that DNA circulating in your system.
I’m celebrating because I had zero detection! I can honestly say I am cancer-free!
Disclaimer: this test only checks for a match to my previous cancer. It is not used to detect all cancers. But today, I will celebrate what I know I don’t have.
God is good—can I get an AMEN?!"**
