NO CHEMO!!!

Dave and I left around 7:30 a.m. for Tucson. My appointment was at 10:30 with Dr. Persky who is a Lymphoma specialist at the Arizona Cancer Center at UofA. We had a long wait - over 2 hours, but it was totally worth it! He spent a long time with us going over my history, my records, results of the tests, and examined me (especially all the places where lymphoma usually hangs out). Then he told us his recommendation for treatment: Watch and Wait. Boy, were those the words I wanted to hear!!!! He wants me to follow up in 3 months with Dr. Chang. He is also going to examine my pathology slides and make sure that it is indeed 3A. If it is higher, I need to do chemo ASAP, but he doesn't expect it to be higher. He is also going to discuss my case with his fellow doctors because my case is so rare. I can't even explain how happy and relieved I am! I have my life back! I can play with grandkids, travel, etc. Happy day, happy day!!!!
