4. Stay determined ...

and sorry to hear the results of the latest scan. I do not know the particulars of your disease, but you can check the LLS boards, both under lymphoma and under stem cell transplant. If you do, you'll see that the word "determined" is used more frequently than the word "positive." Nobody can stay positive all the time, just try and stay determined, day by day!

As my husband's doctor said ... we have lots of drugs, use whatever meds (anti-anxiety/pain) you need to get through this period, your job is to get through the next month!

Best of luck!
