test results

[momof23191715]

My sister was diagnosed with stage IV follicular lymphoma.  She just finished her 8th round of chemo.  I don't know what chemo drugs she received.  All I know is she had chemo every 3 weeks and she stayed in the hospital for about 1 week and had the chemo there.  She had the chemo for 5 of the days for 24 hours per day. She also has some heart problems.  She just had a pet scan and was told there was no cancer activity.  What exactly does that mean?  I know when she was first diagnosed they did a test to see if her bone marrow had cancer and it did.  Those results sound good to me.  Am I right?  My sister is 50 years old.  Thank you.

I had stage IV Lymphoma Large B cell  Aggressive. I had the Cancer also in the bone marrow. I also have been Cancer free now for 3 years. No Cancer activity is the start for her to start living again. It is good news tell her bravo. I also had heart problems and had to have my Gall Bladder removed in the middle of Chemo and also had Bypass Surgery. You tell her she must stay positive and look forward    to the future now, The journey may  have its up and downs, but tell her to remain positive. I'm praying for her.
