With new research coming out about PFAs, I wonder if I could have gotten lymphoma from drinking water. A stronger connection is from military bases but I was certainly never on a military base.
Then I have to wonder about my mother, too, and how she got pancreatic cancer. But how are we to ever know!

My yearly PET scan is coming up soon in January!
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.
