Clancy's final quarterly tests and analysis in early May went very well. While there, he took a moment to pose in front of the Huntsman Cancer Center in Salt Lake City. The doors behind him are a reminder of the many times he entered the Center for treatment barely able to walk and battling extreme nausea.
After four rounds of extensive intravenous treatment followed by a year of daily pills, he's finally off chemotherapy. The multiple myeloma remains in remission. The bone lesions which are a symptom of the cancer have stopped growing, shrunk or completely disappeared. He couldn't be happier with the results.
He will take a steroid on 4 of every 21 days for the next year as part of an experimental treatment protocol intended to result in longer terms of remission. It will negatively affect his sleep, but he hopes the insomnia will be endured in exchange for many cancer-free years. He'll return to Huntsman in six months for his next checkup. Now it's time to get back in shape!
