More scan results

Well here we go... for those of you that don't already know, my most recent PET scan was still positive.  There's no new activity, but there's still some present that showed on the last scan.  So no remission for this lady... My Dr doesn't think we are going to be able to get things any better than they currently are, so I'm going to go ahead with the next consult at Roswell in a couple of weeks.  Hopefully there's another treatment they can try before the transplant... cause from what I've been hearing and reading, transplant without complete remission first is just setting up for another relapse.  Guess I'll just play the waiting game for now and see what they say.  I also want to say thanks again for all the positive thoughts and prayers.  And I really appreciate all the cards, gifts and kind words  :)

Update

Hi again.  Thought I'd update since I've had a few people ask what's going on lately.  I finished up my chemo at RPH 2 weeks ago, so I'm feeling pretty good.  The first few days after my last treatment were some of the worst so far, so I'm glad I'm done with it for now at least.  On Friday I have another PET scan to check to see if I'm in complete remission.  I'm hoping for yes, because I can't proceed with the rest of my treatment until I am.  My next consult at Roswell is in the beginning of March, and hopefully at that appointment I'll get an idea of when things are going to get rolling.  For now, I'm just going to enjoy time with my family while I'm feeling good, before the real fun begins.  :)
