Well, I had chemo #7 today.  As a lot of people know, I went in to it thinking that I would only have 1 more chemo after this one since my doctor has been suggesting that since May.  Sadly, I was inorrect.  My doctor said that he presented my case to the Methodist Hospital Lymphoma Board and they all agreed that I should continue having chemo until the tumor stops responding completely, which could take up to 8 months (so I could possibly have 9 more- It could stop responding sooner than that, in which case I would have less than that).  I know I posted last time that it looked like my chest tumor had already stoped responding, however, at closer inspection, it turns out that it did shrink in size by 20%.  I'm just sad because I was so looking forward to being done and now it turns out that I may not even be half done.  The good news is that it seems the doctor who looked at my pathology in Dallas incorrectly diagnosed me as having the most agressive kind of Hodgkins when I really have a less agressive kind.  Also, radiation has a lot more internal side-effects that chemo does, even though it is less painful for me, so I think in the long run I will be glad I had less radiaion and more chemo.  Although I am upset, I would rather have more chemo now than start radiation and find out when the radiation is done that it is not gone and have to start chemo all over again.  All I can do is go day by day, continue to trust God that I am not suffering in vain, and know that one day this will be over.  As my old High School VP used to say: "Its a great day to be alive!"
