Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma -- Part II

I'm happy to update my blog Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

My , Kristina, received the results of her PET scan and we are ecstatic! After 7 chemo treatments, the cancer is gone from the following areas: her neck, clavicle, rib, spine, liver and ovary. The mass in her chest has shrunk significantly! The doctor told her that her progress has surpassed his expectations. (She still faces 9 more chemo sessions before she completes her treatment plan).

Thank you all for your words of encouragement, the positive thoughts and energy, prayers, shoulder to cry on, friendship and information. Words can not be found to properly describe our gratitude.

The positive is there. Sometimes it's just hard to find.

Thanks, Bijou! Yes, really great news! Kristina is so happy. The great news generated an even more positive attitude which in turn helps her to endure the chemo. Thanks for saying I'm wonderful and caring. It's easier to be that way when I have wonderful and caring friends like you. Will keep you updated.

Thanks, Lulu! ~~ Although Kristina is beating this, it's been a struggle. She had her chemo treatment this past Wednesday and now she is too weak to function at home or work.

We are so looking forward to that full recovery. Thanks for stopping by.
