The Embuggerance Revisited

I’ve now completed the course of chemotherapy and immunotherapy that was called for when it was discovered that I had an embuggerance.

The good news is that the lymphomas have shrunk, and a couple have disappeared altogether; the not-so-good news is that most are still hanging around.

It’s not bad news however, the doctor was pleased with the results, but it does mean that I am now on a “maintenance” regime – an infusion of rituximab every three months to keep everything under control. This may go on for a couple of years. Every now and then there will be a PET-scan to see how the lymphomas are doing.

The bottom line is that there has been no magic cure, but I should be OK for a few years yet… As Alan Bennett said, I intend keeping on keeping on…
