Excellent News on Lymphoma Progress

Well, there is good news on the lymphoma front. A chest x-ray has revealed that the central mass in my chest has shrunk considerably! This is very good news as it shows that the cancer is being quite responsive to treatment. Also, although there seems to be some impact on my lung functioning (currently my blood gas exchange rate in my lungs is down by a third from what you would expect of someone my age and height), overall the chemo does not seem to be having too many side effects. So the doctors are very encouraged. I will have lung function tests every other chemo treatment to track that finding. At the sixth chemo treatment I will have another chest CT scan, so they can measure by volume exactly how much the tumor in the middle of my chest has shrunk...
