Fiz os ultimos exames. Estava tenso como sempre, e felizmente esta tudo bem, marcadores tumorais dentro do normal. Eh uma sensacao estranha fazer esses exames mensalmente, pois quando vem o resultado eh um alivio enorme, mas nao uma euforia, porque afinal na minha concepcao era esse o resultado que deveria ser. Eh como se fosse um passo a mais em direcao a cura, mas ainda longe dela. Uma extensao de tempo, mais um mes vivendo sem pensar na doenca. Daqui a trinta dias novamente tenho esse encontro com a tensao, e assim sera ate completar um ano. As vezes imagino em dormir e acordar um ano depois, mas preciso seguir enfrentando cada desafio, nao posso me esconder, e o desafio psicologico eh um deles.

Beijos,

Carlos

I took last tests, I was so stressed as usual, but fortunately everything is alright, with normal levels. It is a strange feeling to have to do these tests every month, because when come the results, it is a big relief, but not euphoria. It is like a step towards cure, but still far away. It is like extending time, giving one more month living without thinking about the disease. In 30 days, I will have this meeting with tension again, and again and again until completing 1 year. Sometimes I imagine I could sleep for one year and then wake up, but I have to face each challenge, I can't hide, and the psychological challenge is one of them.

Love,

Carlos.
