Hi Jackie,
I'm sorry to hear about your CT results. If I may say this is NOT as bad as it would be if these were your husband's results. Perhaps you remember that my husband Steve had stage IV lymphoma. He never had a completely clean scan, and his results would ebb and flow. Finally his scan in September of 2013 was quite bad. The lymphoma had pretty much spread everywhere. He had been on, I think, four different chemos. At that point we moved to Vermont to get him ready for a bone marrow transplant, which he had in Mat 2014. He has been cancer-free since then and is pretty much back to normal. I think it likely they will put you back on chemo for a while and then re-scan. The next chemo is likely to work very well. Lymphoma sucks, butt in a really different way than colon cancer, and in the whole scheme of things is fairly accompanied be a sense of real optimism. I think of you so frequently, sort of knowing what you're going through. Sending you warm best wishes.
(((Jackie))))
