On Monday, I went for my 4th PET scan. Thank God the wait wasn't as long as the previous one, it was surprising because I thought the hospital will be a madhouse with everyone scheduling their appointments after CNY.
I got my scan results yesterday, and Dr Lim says "Your lymphoma is in remission". OMG, best 5 words I've heard this year. But but but!!!!! The scan shows that there is still a 'stable' mass left, with less activity compared to my previous scan. Since the scan is done a month after my chemotherapy ended, a decrease in activity = the mass left should probably be scarred tissue, and non-cancerous in nature.
That being said, taking my age into consideration, Dr Lim still feels the strong need for radiotherapy because it will kill the tiny possibility of any cancer cells lingering behind undetected by the scan. I guess that's the best way forward now.
Radiotherapy starts tomorrow, let's go!

Yesterday after the appointment, we were about to turn into MCE, when Joel and I made a spontaneous decision to go to Gardens by the Bay! Even paid to get up on the Giant Supertrees hahaha it was a wonderful time getting some fresh air and scenery.
So thankful.
So thankful.
