I received my results from all the testing and I am in complete remission. The team at MD Anderson have done a fabulous job ridding my body of cancer - they are awesome.
I'll still have my maintenance drugs for the next year as well as the radiation treatment in late September. These should help keep me cancer free for a longer period of time. Lymphoma can be a bit pesky and return, so I will be retested every 4 months for two years and then that regimen will get reduced, but I will always have to be monitored.
My success has in no small part due to the support of all of my wonderful friends and family sending encouragement, offers of food, flowers and lots of spiritual support. Ted has been Mr. Wonderful, taking good care of me through all of this. You all have made a difference and helped me fight this disease. Thank you all for that.
With love and hope,
Marilyn
