Pet Scan

Hello again,
War weary from the last chemo, but still running!
This last chemo took a greater toll than the others, much more weakness and fatigue, more serious lesions in the mouth, nausea, etc. etc. BUT I'm finally climbing out of the hole and starting to feel human again.
I had a PET scan done on the 19th. We got the results on the 21st, the date of my next chemo, and I am happy to say the results were good! There was no further growth of cancer cells and Dr. Constantinou informed us that the chemo treatments can be reduced to 6 instead of 8 or 9. That means my last one will be 11th of June! Big Lake here we come! We hope to spend July there, at least.
I will need to return to Quad cities for a check in 4 months and continue those checks on a 4 to 6 month basis.
I was relieved that I won't have to have the last two or three chemos as they seem to get harder on your body, the more you have.
Lynne and Jamie and girls will be visiting the last of June as well as granddaughter Tiffany who is coming from Switzerland to visit. We will be making the trek home after that.
Because I have two kinds of Lymphoma, follicular lymphoma which transformed into diffuse (fast growing) B cell lymphoma I will need to continually do follow up physicals and tests as the follicular lymphoma cells could transform once again, but we can deal with that!
Sooo, things are finally looking up here in the Quad Cities and we are looking forward to grandson Nick's high school graduation this next week.
Thanks for being patient with my lack of postings. It is difficult for me to get my head together and the energy to do the posts after the chemo treatments. Once I start feeling better it's much easier.
Bless you all!
Fran
