Pet Scan update

Teresa and Tom returned from a fantastic "early spring break" at the ACC tournament in Atlanta last night. This morning we met with Dr. Saman (by now our favorite oncologist) and found that the recent PET Scan shows the lymphoma tumor is totally gone. While this is the best news we could have had, there is still work to do. Today's fifth chemo sesson will be followed by a final one April 4. Daily sessons(Monday - Friday)of radiation will begin approximately May 1 and last for three to five weeks. The purpose of the radiation is to reduce the potential for re-occurance of the cancer.
