His wife, Mary Scott Guest, said Guest is tired but improving and wants to return to the General Assembly.
"He sleeps a lot, but the sleep is getting his strength back," she said. "He hopes he can get back to the House next week."
Guest, who has been monitoring House activity from his bed, was released Sunday from the Medical College of Virginia Hospital. He had been treated there since the second week of January.
It will be at least a month before Guest knows if a stem-cell transplant procedure has eliminated the cancer he has been battling since April, his wife said.
The Warren County Republican received a series of high-level radiation and chemotherapy doses. He will return to the hospital as an outpatient each day for white blood-cell counts. So far, the news from those tests has been good, his wife said.
The treatment is Guest's final hope of defeating the disease, which went into remission after an initial series of chemotherapy, only to reappear in October.
