Had my blood work and PET scan yesterday and met with Dr Khurana to go over the results.

After 3 cycles of CHOEP chemo treatment therapy the PET scan showed no signs of cancer in the lymph nodes as it did on the first scan 10 weeks ago!!!🙏❤️

This was the news we were hoping for and I’m on target for a stem cell transplant in mid-July after my remaining 3 rounds of chemo.

It hasn’t been easy and I’ve recently developed painful mouth sores but I’m coping.

I hope my results give hope to others suffering from this terrible disease. 🙏❤️🙏

Randy!!! I’m doing a happy dance for you!! 💃 I can so relate to that feeling of exuberance and relief with test results giving super good news and prayers have been answered! Thank you for sharing this news! It will definitely help encourage others. Your news is another affirmation of hope. 🙏☺️

Blargh, those pesky mouth sores. They magically disappear as your white count rises. In the meantime there are some mouth rinses you can try. Simple at home, ½ teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in 4 cups of water.
An OTC product called Peroxyl is helpful and I personally used a mouth rinse, Spry by Xclear. It’s very soothing, contains xylitol which helps promote healing and my transplant pharmacist approved it.

I found a good website which helps explain mucositis, the lovely side effect of chemo. https://oralcancerfoundation.org/complications/mucositis/

And now, phase two of Randy 2.0 Next stop, Rochester! My home away from home. In fact, I’ll be there this weekend through Tuesday. Is there anything I can help you with for this next leg of your journey?
