PET scan after 2 cycles is negative

I just got a call from the Nurse Practitioner. The PET scan was negative meaning that there was no detectable cancer. It means that the chemo is working. The nurse believes that the doctor will want to continue doing the 6 months of chemo, but will not advise doing radiation. This way if there is a recurrence, they can use radiation instead of going right to the stem cell transplant. This is great news!!! yeah. More soon...
