I have now had 4 out of 12 chemo sessions. We're well on our way to getting healthy. During my last chemo, we scheduled my mid-term PET scan which will show whether or not there is still metabolic activity in my lymph nodes. If the PET scan shows no metabolic activity (which would be wonderful), it means that the chemo is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. The cancer is being eaten up (pacman style) by the superhuman chemo drugs. Though chemo works for most people, my physiology may not respond to the chemo (but we all know it will ... of course). Good thoughts, positive energy, prayer ... we'd love for the PET (scheduled for next Monday ... one week from today) to come back clean!
As for side effects from chemo #4, I'm doing well. They have been better than the last two chemos, and with some additional distraction this weekend and a wonderful friend/play date today, things have been going smoothly.
