Jim & I went in to see the Oncology nurse Thursday and ended up talking with Dr. G. He said he presented my case to the tumor board and decided that I should have a biopsy on a lymph node (needle through back ... could go back to work after procedure. Just like the bone marrow biopsy). The result will show if it is actually cancer, or perhaps a disease, such as sarcoidosis, that affect the lymph nodes. At any rate, I'll be going in for another infusion of rituxan Weds, with a possiblity of chemo depending upon biopsy results. Doing some online research I even found some notations of 'false positive' results on pet-scans. At least this gives me hope that it may not be the cancer.
I haven't heard when my appointment for the biopsy is, but should find out sometime today (Friday). Will let you all know as soon as I find out anything more.
Love to all
