Good news from the CT Scan

Today was cycle four, day three: a Fludarabine day. While at Roswell we had a visit in the infusion room from Dr R. She gave us the results of last week's CT scan. The chest and abdominal lymph nodes that were enlarged on the previous CT scan have now gone back to normal. This only means that the lymph nodes are clear, not that the cancer is gone from my blood or bone marrow.

Dr R. also said that although it is possible to finish chemo after only four cycles of F-R, she feels it best that I go the full six cycles. We agreed with her assessment as we want the best possible results. This means my last chemo is at the end of March and I may be able to travel again by May. Something to look forward to.

To celebrate this good news I walked to the mailbox and back, for the first time in months. It is a winter wonderland outside as we are in the middle of a snowstorm. The walking was tough because of the deep snow but it felt good to be outside.
