PET CT Scan Results (after 5 chemo treatments)
No evidence of active lymphoma.
Still am planning on finishing the 12 treatments of chemo (seven left).
Pulmonary Function Test and PET Scan
Yesterday I went in for a pulmonary function test which measures the air volume in your longs. For my height and weight I was 73% of where the optimal level would be. It's purpose is to be able to measure if there is any lung damage during the chemo. The low lung volume was not caused by asthma. Today they did a full body PET scan to measure the activity of the cancer cells and how many, where, and the size of the enlarged lymph nodes. The results for this test we will get on Thursday.
