Hello all. A few updates- we received the results from my PET scan- and got the news we needed to hear. The disesase has "stabilized"- the medical term on the report. Meaning continued shrinkage or no growth. YAY! This means no more ICE chemo for sure, and we are moving forward as scheduled with the rest of the transplant process.
I was in yesterday for a battery of tests, including my favorite- the bone marrow biopsy. The process was much smoother and much less painful than the one last year. I was given some good drugs and lots of numbing agent. No big whoop. Only unexpected thing was that they did one on each hip- so I got a double dose.
From here, I have a meeting with the doc next week and such getting ready for the hammer to drop.
Jeff, thats great news!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great attitude and updates on your progress.
