Totally exhausting day. Felt better than in days, but that was before Dr. appointment. Waited for blood to be drawn, then for dr. to see me. He checked my neck lymph node and smiled. Said it was reduced. Which means it looks like the lymphoma is repsonding to the chemo. Still lumpy under arm pits, but it's only been one round. Keep your fingers crossed, looks like I may be in the 80 percent (so far).
He wants to start me on Rituxan (part of CHOP-R) next week. It can have nasty side effects. Also wants me to get an ultrasound of my heart (forgot the name). So more tests in the works.
Good note ... he left smiling.
Will post more tomorrow, I'm really wiped out. Been a very busy day.
Love you all

YO! Hooray for our side!! Glad that you are in that 80% ... we always knew you were special. My morning began with a bang ... I'll just say "Miss-Mini-cat" and then go kick a tree, okay? Stay positive ~ you are prmitted those little dark moments, too. Goes with the territory!
Love Ya!
