Wednesday Dr. Doty told me I have achieved "CR". I know I've had "CRS" disease for years and thought he meant that was getting worse. The "chemo brain" that Doty has caused over the last 2 years would explain the worsening condition. But then he said "No, Dummy! CR stands for Complete Remission!"
What a relief! I was so concerned that my CRS was approaching Alzheimer's level and that Cindy would be putting me away soon.
Dr. LeMaistre also said the latest scans showed "No evidence of active lymphoma in the neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis." The report generously used words like normal, clear, stable, and resolved.
Thank you, Ann! And thanks to all of you that have supported us and prayed for us. You are all greatly appreciated!
Now I have a little time to work on my Bucket List.
I'll post again when I have new news.
