At long last, I can drop the other shoe!

Back on May 6, I said that I'd been provisionally diagnosed with a non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

That's what it was, all right. But now, after six chemo sessions, my oncologist pronounced those glorious words, "cancer free"! That's based on a PET scan and CT scan after the fourth chemo. The PET could not find the differential absorption of radioactive sugar solution by the fast-growing cells of a lymphoma, and the CT couldn't see it either. Then two more chemos to (as Shakespeare put it) "make assurance double sure".

I thought I would pass this on, for the delectation (or dismay?) of those who know me.
