So for now Imm good and this treatment should take care of any residual cells and the one on my forhead.....Thanks for all the support......now I just need the support to get off myA** everyday and exercise..YUK.....

Whoot Whoot Good news!!! I had my PET scan Wed. will get my results on monday along with treatment #5 of 6 I hope. I too will be in your same situation, this stuff really knocks the socks off us huh? Well now we need to eat good and walk a lot to gain back what we lost. We can do this I know we can. My next step is a stem cell transplant is that what he told you would be done if it came back?? I don't want to go there so healthy I will get!!
Glad all went well for you !! Keep us posted! ((HUGS))

If it comes back treatment will depend on where it comes back.....Im not gona worry about that...well keep us posted on ur results.....Jo
I am delighted to read your news, Jo. Now to get off yer arse and exercise!~ Stretching and walking would be a good start. It IS a beautiful day, although some folks would beg to differ as it has been rainy and gloomy here, Weird me loves these kind of days. Go figure.
Ya I am not going to worry bout stem cell transplants either cuz I am not going there I have decided. I am going to go into remission, doesn't that sound better? I think so ,,,so I will now to convince the MD! Ha, HA
Wey and rainy here for the next 3 days guess I will exercise inside for now
Keep us posted!!
So does this mean a change in menu for our rehearsal's! Or are we going to celebrate, and work our buns off before and after? JoBaby, you sound better now that you have a plan of attack. Don't you just hate waiting for your marching orders? I have to set goals or I get lost in Willy Nilly Land! Seems like if I write a list out, then rewrite it by priority, I stop worrying as much and get more done. I was panicking over all these summer projects, so I took each month and broke down the work load and spread it out. It really change my attitude and took a big weight off, speaking of weight, I kinda did the same thing, spread out the amount over several months because it has always taken a long time for me to loose a few pounds and then I give up. This time I am doing better, not loosing the two pounds a week, but not gaining and eating better without feeling deprived. Rascal I hope you get a good report card on Monday, so you can go on tour! Everyone have a healing and restful Sunday! I'll be thinking of you while I'm planting! Night all, KBeale
Sounds good JoBaby.Get at it and put this behind you.Lets hope you respond well to the Rituxan.Life will be beautiful as Geri would say.Big Hugs,Michele Dx95 FNHL3
