Every clean scan is a happy scan. Just hit two years in my first remission, also lymphoma. Won't officially be until January, but my doctor is pretty sure I was clear by November 2021 and I don't have any symptoms.

I did a lot of research about the difficulties in treating it if it doesn't respond or returns while I was going through treatment. I'm glad that your team was able to resolve it the last time. As you noted, each time makes it more complicated. Positive thoughts on continuing to beat the odds and staying in remission.

Agreed on TFG and the ACA. I knew that cancer was expensive to treat, but the numbers were still a shock. We have excellent insurance, though it has a moderately-high yearly deductible, but we're still extremely grateful. Not sure what we would have done otherwise.
