1) Congratulations! You remain in remission from Mantle Cell Lymphoma.
There is no evidence of recurrent hypermetabolic or structural evidence of high grade lymphoma. Specifically, no abnormal uptake in normal-sized lymph nodes, pathologic lymphadenopathy by size criteria, hypermetabolic focal splenic lesions, splenic uptake above background or suspicious FDG avid osseous lesions.
2) Congratulations, you have splenomegaly!
Current splenic measurements are 16 x 8.5 cm in craniocaudal by transverse dimensions, similar to prior.
3) Congratulations, you have a kidney stone in your left kidney!
Possible layering calyceal stones in the left greater than right kidneys. No hydronephrosis.
4) Congratulations, you have age-appropriate degenerative changes in the spine.
They’re congratulating you on items 2-4? I suppose… The biggest news is great though!
I was being facetious. 😆
Both my Oncologist and my Internal Medicine doctor are good friends of Vicky and I. While Vicky doesn’t always appreciate “gallows humor” or our macabre jokes sometimes, Dr. Dogra and Dr. Nguyen are telling me “It could be worse, but it’s not. Be grateful for your second chance and the opportunities you’ve been given!”
Congratulations! Thinking of you!
