Really quick post, just to update you as promised. I got my CT scan results, the mass in my chest is about 50 percent its original size and my neck seems to be clear of cancer completely! All good news and just what the doctor was hoping for. The mass in my chest may never disappear totally. In many people with Lymphoma, the larger mass just shrinks and the cancer cells die. Basically, it is just benign scar tissue left behind. When I am done with all my treatment and in remission, they will do PET scans periodically to be sure that there is no activity.
But all this cancer fighting comes does not come easily and my stomach is already starting to act up, so I am going to take some meds and try to nap!
