Last Session

Just started my last session (6th) of RCHOP and I feel like when I’m done I need to go celebrate.

Still have to get my final PETCT scan in 3-4 weeks after today to see what’s next.

My Oncologist said after I have my scan she will decide what is next like maybe a cycle of radiation or a Rituxan session every (2) months for a year or two and she also advised maybe no further treatment would be necessary so hoping for the best.

This has been a long journey in my life I never expected to be on and I’ve tried to stay positive even though it’s been super hard but I feel blessed to wake up everyday 

To everyone that is going thru cancer treatments just stay positive and be thankful for each day you have 🙏

Globe Yew Issue

Have a row of globe yew shrubs and they have been fine but this one after a cold winter with a lot of snow covering it has a dead area, there is some green inside but not a lot.

Is there a way to save this one and if so what is the best way to proceed

Any Suggestions on Threshold Settings

Here’s a (3) trend on Beestat, so does this look good for a new 2 ton Amana, it’s running in a small 1200sf Condo with builder grade windows that are kinda old and some have lost there seal we plan to address.

We run a manual hold sch of 74-75 during the day and 70 at night

Settings on Ecobee 3 lite:

Temp diff SP = 1 deg

Comp min on = 20 mins

Comp min off = 20 mins

Cool disapation = Auto which I think is 90-120 secs

Eco+ is on but I don’t see and variances from temp setpoints and we are not connected to our power supply provider for any discounts because I don’t want them having control for a discount.

CT Scan Discussion

Met with my Oncology Dr today to discuss my results posted here from my recent CT Scan

https://www.reddit.com/r/lymphoma/comments/1v3muok/ct_scan/

She was very pleased with my scan results and said it shows all my lymph nodes have shrunken in size and its where she expected it to be with my current RCHOP treatment.

I have one more treatment of RCHOP after today’s treatment and then a PET scan 3-4 weeks after my last treatment and then she will determine if I go on a maint treatment of Rituxan but may not be needed.

I may have to also have some radiation treatment but again that will be looked at after my PET Scan in a few months

I will admit I was worried what she was going to tell me but she advised all looks great and she’s very happy with the results

I will tell everyone that is going thru a cancer diagnosis and treatment to stay strong and feel blessed and take everyday day you have as a gift to be appreciated 🙏

CT SCAN

I had my CT scan after 4 rounds of RCHOP, still have two rounds to do.

I don’t understand the results posted but I have not spoken to my Oncology Dr

EXAM: CT CHEST ABDOMEN AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST INDICATION: follicular lymphoma - eval tx response Grade 2 follicular lymphoma of lymph nodes of axilla (HCC) TECHNIQUE: Low dose, multi-channel computerized tomography of the chest, abdomen and pelvis was performed with IV contrast. Multiplanar reformats were reviewed. COMPARISON: CT chest abdomen pelvis 05/11/2026, 03/24/2026 FINDINGS: LOWER NECK AND AXILLA: There is a postprocedural clip in the left axilla. Right axillary lymph nodes measure up to 1 cm short axis, previously 1.2 cm short axis (05/11/2026). Right axilla has greater number and size of lymph nodes compared to the contralateral left side. The largest left axillary lymph node measures 1.2 cm short axis (similar to 05/11/2026). However, there is interval decrease in size of the smaller left axillary lymph nodes compared to 05/11/2026. HEART AND VESSELS: There is normal heart size. Negative for pericardial effusion. There is normal caliber of the aorta. There is a right-sided chest port with tip terminating in the cavoatrial junction. MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: Negative for lymphadenopathy. There are hilar calcified lymph nodes consistent with old benign granulomatous disease. LUNG AND AIRWAYS: The trachea and central airways are aerated. There is a 2 mm posterior right upper lobe nodule (series 601, image 34), unchanged compared to 03/24/2026. There are few chronic benign calcified granulomas in the lungs. PLEURA: Negative for pleural effusion or pneumothorax. ESOPHAGUS: Unremarkable. THORACIC BONES AND CHEST WALL: Negative for acute fracture or concerning bone lesions. There are multilevel bridging endplate osteophytes in the spine consistent with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). HEPATOBILIARY: There is normal size and contour of the liver. Negative for abnormal biliary dilatation. Negative for abnormal radiodense gallstones, gallbladder wall thickening, or pericholecystic inflammatory fluid. PANCREAS: There is normal morphology of the pancreas without acute peri-pancreatic inflammatory changes. SPLEEN: There are benign calcified splenic granulomas. ADRENAL, KIDNEY AND URETER: There is normal morphology of the adrenal glands. There are bilateral ureteral stents. There is mild dilatation of the bilateral renal pelvises. There are subtle urothelial enhancement/wall thickening of the renal pelvises and ureters. There is slightly decreased soft tissue scarring/stranding surrounding the ureters compared to 05/11/2026. BLADDER AND GENITAL: The bladder contains small volume of fluid. There is mild eccentric wall thickening of the right lateral wall of the bladder, measuring up to 0.7 cm thickness, previously 1.1 cm thickness (05/11/2026.) prostate gland appears within normal limits. GI: The stomach contains small volume of ingested material. Negative for abnormal bowel dilatation or obstruction. Negative for abnormal wall thickening or inflammatory changes of bowel. There is colonic diverticulosis without evidence of acute diverticulitis. VASCULAR: Negative for aortic aneurysm. There is aortoiliac and femoral calcified atheromatous disease. LYMPH NODES: There is overall decreased confluent retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, which appears less dense and slightly smaller in size compared to 05/11/2026. Representative examples include a 1.2 cm short axis left periaortic retroperitoneal lymph node (series 605, image 70), previously 1.6 cm short axis (05/11/2026. Iliac chain lymph nodes measure up to 1 cm short axis, previously measuring up to 1.3 cm (05/11/2026.). The fat planes between the lymph nodes and adjacent bowel/muscle structures appear more apparent compared to prior 05/11/2026. There is subtle haziness/fat stranding in the central mesentery which is also slightly decreased compared to 05/11/2026. PERITONEUM:There is decreased presacral posterior pelvic fluid and scarring, now spanning 2.5 cm anterior-posterior thickness, previously 3.4 cm (05/01/2026. Negative for intra-abdominal free air. BONE, SOFT TISSUE AND ABDOMINAL WALL: Subtle nonspecific sclerosis at S1 is similar to 05/11/2026, but new compared to 03/23/2026, possibly sequelae of a stress/insufficiency fracture or posttreatment related osteitis. IMPRESSION: CT chest. 1. Slightly decreased size of axillary lymph nodes compared to 05/11/2026. CT abdomen pelvis. 1. Decreased size and density of retroperitoneal and iliac chain lymph nodes compared to 05/11/2026. 2. Decreased presacral pelvic fluid and scarring. 3. Decreased eccentric wall thickening of the right lateral bladder wall. 4. Bilateral ureteral stents. Remnant mild dilatation of the bilateral renal pelvises. Persistent remnant subtle urothelial enhancement/wall thickening of the renal pelvises and ureters, suspected to be related to posttreatment related changes. However, can consider correlation with urinalysis to exclude infection. 5. Sclerosis at S1 may be sequelae of nondisplaced stress/insufficiency fracture or posttreatment-related osteitis.

Calibration

Have been wanting to check accuracy of my Ecobee 3 Lite so picked up an Acurite but wanted to calibrate it first so am doing the salt test and calibrated my ThermPro probe to ice water and then let the probe sit next to the Acurite and set temp on Acurite to ThermPro reading

Estimated time to cool ?

My estimated time to cool is a lot different than actual time.

It said 40 mins but the trend shows system only ran 26 mins so how is time to cool calculated and why is it off that much

New A/C after several weeks

My new ac has been in for several weeks and seems to be doing a decent job, run times look ok , we keep it set to 73 during the day and 68 at night with a 1 deg span so I have to ask does all look normal.

New AC installed

Just had a new inside evap coil and outside condenser replaced because my evaporator coil had a really bad leak along with a capacitor going out and compressor was pulling really high amps ( most likely burned up because no refrigerant when checked like completely no charge for a few days, it was a low end builder box so I stepped up to an Amanna with a 10/10 warranty

To me the cycle times look short on the last part of the trend, it’s only been in 24 hrs

Im getting 15-20 min run times so not two complete cycles in an hour which I think is to few of cycles

The new Amana is supposed to be a huge upgrade from the one that went out
