Dear all, Strange title maybe, but I planned to go to Italy for a few days. My brother has a friend, living in Desenzano at lake Garda. He asked me to join him there for a few days, it would do me good. (of course!!) We should have left after my visit at the hospital this morning but they asked me to come back friday, and that's really too short. A pity, but I hope we can go in the weekend. Now I need to apologize to my family and the family of my girlfriend... I will probably not be there with Easter. The weather in Belgium for the next days is very bad... I'm doing quite well though. The results of my bloodtest in the hospital were good enough except for the thrombocytes (the things that stop bleedings), so I'm going back now to get some fresh blood. That explains why my right shoulder is purple-blue-green-yellow, since they placed the catheter. For real news about the lymphoma, I need patience. The PET/CT next week thursday will tell if the current treatment is working. I don't know, but I'm afraid the result will be about the same as the first time... The lymphnode has shrunk a lot right after the treatment, but it's getting back to normal size now, as it did last month. That's all I can say. Let's hope that it's all dead cells now :) Greetings, Harmen
