Waiting on results

Getting scans today. Got the MRI yesterday. Blood work this morning. PET scan this PM - will post when I get them. Best case - really knocked the cancer out - worst case which I hear every day is it popped up somewhere else.

So think good thoughts all my amazing supporter - I will post immediately after.

All kidding aside....

So they only had me scheduled with LPN's for the final three weeks of chemo which, if you know hospitals, doesn't cut it because only a doc can admit me for the next two chemo's. So, at the appointment with my amazing LPN's I let them know that I want to stay on schedule and get it done. Or - I say, does this mean the doc has reconsidered, agreed with me that I am fully healed, and I can go ring the bell right now and end the chemo?!?! Down the hall my other nurse yells down - "no chance! we finish!!!" So they have changed the appointments and added the doc so that we can keep the show on the road. No issues with the blood work today so I am on track to go back in for the final methotrexate on Friday and get it done by Tuesday. The LPN says she knows I am sick of it but I am so close and doing so well.  So all is good. Did the lawn before the big storms here before my appointment and then drove down myself. That's how good I feel. Have to rest no...

They call me Complete Remission

Not even kidding.  Below are the scans. The one on the left is me riddled with cancer in February -the one on the right is  me today in comp lete remission. This doesn't mean I am cured - it just means that after two cycles of treatment we saw " a diminution of the seriousness or intensity of disease or pain; a temporary recovery."   So now we go for the cure. Note - there is nothing going on in the brain (joke intended), nothing going on in the spine and nothing going on in the lymph nodes.  Yes, we have no cancer.  Even the doc was a little surprised at how well my body responded to the treatment.  For all those who worked so hard to keep my spirits up - it worked. To the prayer warriors around the country who kept lifting us up in your prayers - it worked.  Team Saba has a huge victory today and we thank you all.  We are still going in for Chemo #3 but it got delayed since my body has not fully recovered from all the other crap t...

From Cancer - to bigger things!

Been a while since I posted and I have to tell you that beating cancer is phenomenal.  First, while I was laying there in the hospital at MD Anderson getting chemo (over 50 days total) I had a lot of time to think and one of the things that I wanted to do when I get over the Lymphoma was to help communities in need.  I found Team Rubicon while I was lying there - and you have a lot of time to google stuff while getting chem for Double Hit Lymphoma - and I decided I would join when I got out.   And I did - and did my first two deployments with them. You can read about it here: From Cancer to GSD GSD = Get Shit Done - and that we do. AND now, I am riding with Navy 83 Ride Across America - a group of Navy 83 Grads who decided to cycle to their 40th reunion.  I have been getting in better shape since chemo and I feel like this is a great statement on where I am 4 years after I finished chemo - to ride 585 miles from Toledo to Annapolis averaging 70-80 miles a day....
