The PET scan still shows activity

Too tired to type a ton right now, but I just wanted to update everyone that I had my fourth post-treatment PET scan today, and it still showed the same activity as the previous three PET scans. So...since the activity is the same, the doctors are leaning towards the activity being caused by my body's response to the chemo and not necessarily residual lymphoma. Without the activity disappearing (or at least decreasing) though, they can't be sure it's not a small amount of cancerous cells left over.

The decision: wait another six weeks and rescan....

I'll type more about how we're doing in post treatment limbo soon!
