Kobro's Cancer Crew #18: Bye Bye Limpus

June 10, 2025

It's official. I'm cancer free. Thank you for getting me here!

We confirmed that I am in remission with a final PET scan.

First, they gave me some radioactive sugar water. Then, they put me in this big machine to figure out how the sugar gets distributed in my body.

If the sugar gets eaten up by tumors, it lights up on the scan (and means the cancer is alive / growing).

If not, we're in the clear.

Here's the scan from 6 months ago. Lots of tumors.

Here's the scan from last week.

Recent PET scan showing David's body completely clear of cancer - in remission!

We're looking normal as fuck!

Bye bye Limpus.

Phew.

Tupper's especially excited. Mikayla caught him sitting like this on the couch the other day.

Thank you again for all the love and support along the way ❤️.

As for the future of these KCC updates, there's still a few things I need to keep you in the loop on:

  • Health progress: I'm still feeling fatigued from chemo, but starting to get back into shape. Already lost a few pounds (was up around 50lbs at one point from the steroids, so I have a ways to go).
  • Check-ins: I'll be having a quarterly check-in with my doctor to ensure there's no recurrence (recurrence is when the cancer comes back). It's very unlikely for this to happen.
  • Tattoo: I need to wait at least a few months for my immune system to fully recover before getting a tattoo. I'll keep thinking on some designs in the meantime! Recently decided that I'm now definitely against the scoreboard idea lol.

Lastly, I may start to write more on stuff outside of cancer, so will be letting you know if / when that begins.

As for the next few weeks...

Mikayla and I will be taking a celebratory vacation in mid-October. We're heading to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam. Send some travel recs!

Love,
David
