This is a good respo: Your tumor has shown excellent response. The PET SUV below 3 is considered near normal...your's is almost there. Ask you doctor to check the size of your lymphoma node tumor before treatment and now. The enlarged nodes should have reduced or resolved by now. Also inquire about the value of radiotherapy to the affected lymph nodes...that is a part of the treatment in most cases.
