My body responded well to the Methotrexate. I returned to Cincinnati on Saturday, May 4th. Fortunately, I felt really good last week. I definitely took advantage of it and spent time visiting friends, eating and staying at my house in Bellevue. I even went to the grocery store (which I haven't done in five months)!! It was nice to feel "normal." While home, I had two appointments for lab work at the Cincinnati oncologist office. So even in Cincinnati, I'm still being monitored closely. It's comforting to know that both the Cincinnati and Columbus doctors are working together.
My Mom and I returned to Columbus for the PET scan and MRI this past Monday the 13th. Tuesday, I met Dr. Baiocchi (primary Columbus physician) for the results. The PET scan was an improvement in comparison to my first one during April. The doctor is optimistic that another IVAC (five day) chemotherapy treatment may kill the remaining lymphoma. I was admitted, provided a hospital room immediately and started treatment. Thankfully, my doctors were able to move the scans and treatments up one week so that I could attend my sister's wedding. =)
