Good scan but I wish I was in NED

Dr Ujjani says "no need for treatment" (NNT?) rather than NED (No Evidence of Disease) and the word remission cannot be used. 

My next check up is in 6 months (in person!) and she said we can wait a year for next PET scan! Unless symptoms arise, of course. 

The few areas she was concerned with in my last scan (in June 2022) have gotten smaller but they are still there, still could be lymphoma but she can't tell; they are deep in the belly, under 2 cm and can't be biopsied.
