...Remission Happiness!

Sorry for the delay, y'all.

It's been a rough couple of months (4 to be exact).

Here was the deal, after numerous biopsies and a PET Scan, they found out that I had multiple hypermetabolic nodes in the left cervical, bilateral axillary regions. Also, multiple large masses and nodal conglomerates were noted in the abdomen and pelvis. There was involvement in the L1 & L2 vertebrae, and the left ilium. Foci was noted in my spleen, which was also enlarged.

Friggin' scary, no? So immediately after I had the diagnosis of Diffuse Large B Cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, I was finally able to start Chemotherapy. To be honest, the past four months has been a bit of a blur - lots of puking, not a lot of eating. LOTS of pain meds.

After 6 rounds (one round every 21 days), I had another PET Scan, and they found out that the Cancer is completely GONE. Nada. Just some bone deterioration from the tumors in my bone marrow (in my vertebrae and hip).

Whoo-hoo!!! I'm just having one more Chemo Treatment on Thursday "to be on the safe side". I would soooo much rather have one more treatment, and make sure we got it all than have to go through another 6-8 rounds in 6 months.
