Had another consultation with the doctor from Penn today. He wants me to have another colonoscopy to see how the lymphoma there has responded and he wants to see the images from the most recent PET CT. He wants to show them to their "review board" and see what they say. He thinks even though the report says "partial response", he thinks there is possibility that I have had an "excellent response" to the treatment, but the images will tell more.
After the colonoscopy and PET review, they will decide if I am going to get just an "A" cycle and Rituxan maintenance or an "A" cycle and Stem Cell Transplant. Whether or not I get another "B" cycle will be determined, as they really wipe out my blood counts.
I have an appointment with Dr. Ferber Monday, so I'll know more then about when the colonoscopy and next "A" cycle will be.
