A Clear Scan And Another Important Day

Some background first. I was diagnosed with diffuse large b-cell lymphoma in mid-November. It's a common form of blood cancer. You can read about this here.

I was in Denver on March 20 for a PET scan and a visit with the oncologist. It was certainly a nervous time before the scan and in the minutes before the meeting with the oncologist.

At around 2:30, the oncologist came into the treatment room, beaming.

The PET scan was free of pets, and most importantly, cancer.

Back in December, the scan showed three areas where cancer was growing. But now there’s nothing to see. So I had what I hope was my final round of immunotherapy and chemotherapy last week in Edwards at The Shaw Cancer Center. I’ll have another PET scan in mid-May and, hopefully, that will be the end of this journey.

My sister set up a Go Fund Me and it’s here. Thank you to everyone who has contributed. Please share as you see fit.
