Anyone who knows cancer knows the checkup cycle, the rhythm—the three-month ebb and flow. The prelude to the checkups, the weeks or days before, can be worse than the surgeries. The news feels worse than the treatment. Our checkups are a day-trip to Washington. We take an early shuttle to Reagan National, rent a car, and make the thirty-minute drive to the NIH. Our checkup takes a couple of hours, more or less. Enough time to draw blood, X-ray Anthony’s chest, drink the orange contrast solution for the CT scan, meet with the radiologist, and then we fly back.

At our January checkup, the suspicious areas on Anthony’s lung can still be clearly seen on the CT scan. Dr. Rosenberg isn’t convinced the shadows are tumors and decides we can go one checkup longer. We are still hoping that it is scar tissue.
