101.6 degrees F.
That was my temperature yesterday--so no chemo. And I may have some mild lung damage due to one of the chemo drugs, or it may just be that I have a repiratory infection. But the chest x-rays were clear. Complete clear. As in no signs of Hodgkins.
I have a CAT Scan on Thursday, but the doctor thinks I am probably in remission. I'll find out then.
But I probably no longer have cancer. If I didn't have a temp I'd pop a bottle of champagne.
Five chemos left, the first one as soon as I've had forty-eight hours with no fever.

Your cancer has been remiss?
It has failed to remit?
Well, it plainly has missed its chance to kill you. And if that's all it made of its opportunity, it doesn't deserve another one!
Stupid Blogger's been broken all day. Please pardon this much overdue WOO!
Hey, this kind of failure to remit is not the sort where you want to hire a Collection Agency. Hope the cough and fever clear up fast (no one likes feeling cruddy), but...
Hot damn. That's excellent news. The world hasn't used you up, yet, Maureen.

Now you've got me worried about you - are you on antibiotics or does your doctor think you have a virus?

Hey TCO! They think it's a virus, but I did pulmonary function and diffusion tests (deep breath, now blow blow blow blow...) blood cultures from both arms and urine test as well as the chest x-ray so if it is an infection, they'll catch it. (And half of Cleveland has a virus. They had two other cancellations for chemo that day.) And I'm feeling better today.
I hope blogger is working today. Yesterday I couldn't comment on anyone's blog.
Most excellent news.
Congratulations! Amazing words: But I probably no longer have cancer.
