237 days, 37 doctor appointments, 15 blood draws, 12 infusions, 6 lung function tests, 3 PET CT scans, 1 chest X-ray, 1 EKG and 1 biopsy later...

I am officially in remission!

My PET CT scan came back with very different results than the previous one. It showed no uptake in any of the places I had shown uptake before. Any swollen lymph nodes had reduced back to their original size.

This news is a big relief. It will be nice to start thinking about plans for the summer.
