I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in August of this year and have been going through treatment for almost 3 months now. So far, everything has gone smoothly. During my last chemo treatment my doctor mention it was time for me to have another PET Scan done (to serve sort of as a progress report for my doctor to see how the chemo has been working thus far). So, on Monday I went to Seattle to have the scan done.
Today, while I was at the doctor here in Federal Way, I asked about my PET Scan results and the news was extremely good. She told me there were no findings of of any residual/recurrent lymphoma anywhere in my body! I am cancer free! The results could not be any better!
Although I no longer have cancer, I have to continue getting chemo to make sure the cancer stays gone. According to my doctor, the general rule is to continue chemo 2 cycles past the date of being announced cancer free. Assuming nothing changes, my last day of chemo will be January 6th, 2011. Talk about starting the new year off right!
Thank you for all the prayers and support. It means so much and has clearly been working!
