December PET scan

 Good news! I have more of a watch and wait situation, like with the follicular lymphoma I had in 2013. The only brightness (suspicious) on the scan was the same thing that the doctor pointed out from my scan in September,  post treatment.  It went from 2.4 cm X 1.5 cm to 1.8 cm X 1.9 cm. So smaller and bigger, or just a different shape. As before, the only way she could figure out if it is lymphoma is by doing a biopsy but it is hard to get to.

Meanwhile, it might take a month to get an appointment but I can get the port taken out! 

Next PET scan is in 3 more months. I was hoping for 6! 

As far as getting a COVID-19 vaccine that actually is effective,  her experience is that it takes a year after the Rituximab.  I was hoping for 6 months which would mean February. Now it is August! No planes or crowds until then? 

Meanwhile, as of today, I am not taking any drugs, once again! It feels so good!
