I saw my transplant doc, Dr. Kewalramani yesterday (Tuesday) and got a good report on my CAT scan from last week. The only issue was that I had some congestion or fluid or something in my chest, but he wasn’t concerned about it. No problem with my lymph nodes at all.
So I have been released from the transplant service, and will probably resume seeing the lymphoma Guru, Dr. Zelenetz, in about three months. In the meantime I will have some periodic blood counts done, and Dr. K will speak to me by phone about them, as well as see the general oncologists at the Sleepy Hollow branch of Sloan Kettering. My port will stay in until my last Rituxin treatment in three months, and then I’ll have it removed.
So, pretty good news. I must say, I feel fine. My trip to Disneyworld gave me some color, and I have gotten to the gym four or five times a week in the past four weeks (except for the six days at Disney, when I only went once). As far as fitness is concerned, I’ve got a long way to go to achieve my pre-chemo conditioning, but there’s no rush, and I feel completely back to normal.
