Good News!

My sister had a PET scan this week, and her cancer is in complete remission! According to my BIL:

She will visit the Dr again in August, and he will start to do scans at 6 month intervals. Those scans will continue for the next ~2 years and then move to 9 month scans. This particular form of lymphoma has the highest chance of recurrence during the first 2-5 years, and typically earlier rather than later. The good news is there are no remaining signs, and hopefully it will stay that way.

p.s. To celebrate we’ll be taking a trip to the Grand Canyon and surrounding area in July.

p.s.s. Angie’s hair is growing back pretty well right now. Since she is losing her ‘hair sympathy’, she has gone ahead and gotten a stress fracture in her left foot and has to wear a boot for the next few weeks. Hopefully nothing too serious.
