Results and a quick update

The moment you've all been waiting for... Bone marrow biopsy results!  LOL  So good news on that front, everything was negative, woo hoo!  So at least we know that nothing has spread as far as that goes.  Now for more fun...

There are two spots in my chest that have grown, and (to the best of my knowledge) at least one of them needs to be biopsied to confirm that it's still just Hodgkin's.  The problem with that is that they're both in pretty crappy locations.  Hodgkin's is notoriously difficult to accurately biopsy with a needle biopsy (either through CT or bronchoscopy in my case) and due to that I've had two surgical biopsies in the past.  Our local teams with interventional radiology and pulmonary do not think they'd be able to get good samples (just my luck) so my doctor is requesting that the team at Roswell look over my PET scan to see if they've got any ideas up their sleeve.

I've got an appointment there in a week for a visit with my doctor, as well as a PT evaluation, so hopefully I'll find out more then.  And who knows, maybe I'll have a surprise biopsy, LOL.  I'll keep everyone posted.  Thank you so much for all the kind words, thoughts, positive vibes and prayers!  I appreciate all of you very much!!
