The results are in.....

The two little spots that showed up in the "halfway scan" were still there. Most likely I have two forms of lymphoma. The NLPHL was probably the large area that showed up in my pre-chemo scan. That is no longer there and was gone after the halfway point. The second unknown entity is still there and wasn't treated by the chemo. 

Somehow my dr. set me up with my surgeon right after my appt. with him so I'm currently waiting in the waiting room to see him. I've already met with his "fellow."  So the plan is to biopsy the two nodes or spots to see what they are before coming up with a treatment plan. The two nodes that were removed in April had two different things going on. The big one was nlphl while the small one had folicular lymphoma insitu. My onc surmised that the two remaining spots could be folicular lymphoma.  The good news is I feel great physically, am only a little upset emotionally, the two spots are small 1.9 cm or less, they haven't spread or grown and everything else was clear. As I was writing this, I just met with my surgeon. He is going to get me in in the next few weeks. So at least it is going quickly. Thanks for the positive thought and prayers AND please keep praying. The picture is a 10 minute charcoal drawing my son did of me before I knew about the lymphoma. When I saw it today, it kind of summed up how I feel. A little down, in thought and prayer. Jeff
