Anyways, got done and the results were out in 30 minutes. Went to see my oncologist and she said that the lymph nodes are back to its regular size. She said; "Now that you've recovered you must exercise and eat well. Go hiking...."
I guess that means I'm good for now. The doctor is happy and so I only need to go back in 3 months to do a thyroid scan, chest X ray and abdominal ultrasound. Have to also visit the ENT quarterly.
I'm still doing my weekly pilgrimage to Tung Shin to see the Chinese oncologist who prescribe me herbs which I have to faithfully take twice a day.
I did meet a fellow alumni at SDMC who was under the same treatment as me. We finished at the same time..he was actually earlier as I had an extra 5 irradiation treatment. However his taste buds have yet to return fully and his throat is still a little sore. He was unable to enjoy the CNY because he still could not taste well. So I am just thankful that I have received speedy recovery and that God has mercifully carried me through this trial.
That when I looked back I know it was you that carried me through...

Your way was through the sea,
your path through the great waters;
yet your
footprints were unseen.[c]
20 You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
