I had the PET scan today. Showed two things. First, the amount of fluid around my left lung has increased. Because of this, I've been admitted. I had to go through the ER to get admitted. A Chicago ER is nothing like I've ever seen. The second thing found are some "hot spots" in several lymph nodes and in the bone. The lack of "brightness" in these spots suggests they are low grade NHL. Treatment plan not changed.
The short term plan is:
Have the fluid drained tomorrow.
Be observed Sunday.
Bone marrow biopsy Monday.
Hoping to start the first two day treatment on Monday or Tuesday.
Out of the hospital and home after that.
We're all a little scared but hope your prayers will lift us up.
