Hi @darshsingh1 Well, that’s really super news that your PET scan shows no sign of disease!! Congratulations! Though I know that news also follows the need to finish your chemo cycles. The continued treatment adds protection to ensure the disease doesn’t return! So maybe look at it like ‘belts and suspenders’. 😅
I had to do that with my treatment as well. Even though the tests were all clear, finishing the cycles was important to consolidate the results.
But now you’ve graduated university and you may have an easier time with the treatments than when you were being a full time student! A little more time to rest during the day? That was an incredible feat! I know I mentioned it before but your spirit of endurance is exemplary. So keep up the good work…get the treatment…then take time to heal!
Last evening I went with friends to a Cancer Survival seminar. There was speaker…a man in his 50s who is a 30+ year Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor. I thought of you! He was a university student when he was diagnosed. Managed to stay in classes throughout his treatment. He goes around the US giving lectures on survivorship. About how important it is to try and retain a normal life even though the person you were is now forever changed. There is a time of mourning for what we’ve lost, the life we had before our diagnoses. Cancer does change us…life is different but we have the ability to re-invent ourselves. It was very motivational and encouraging.
I wish you well with your next round…and may it be your last! ☺️. Please keep me updated, ok? Hugs.
