Appointment with my oncologist - Dr. Hamdan - on Monday. Told me I was doing fine. Need more new skin to continue growing inside of my mouth and tongue area. The thyroid test I took on Friday did not identify anything. Doctor wants to follow up with additional thyroid tests.
Dr. Hamdan still thinks I should get my third chemotherapy treatment. Tentatively scheduled for 3 weeks from today. I will see the doctor earlier in the morning to verify and prepare for chemotherapy to follow this appointment. (November 30th)
Soon after this - I will be scheduled for another CT scan to determine where my cancer is (or isn't). Both of my doctors will study this scan and give me their opinions.
My doctors are aware of our Florida plans and will make necessary arrangements for follow-up while we are snow-birding. But, it looks more and more like my Florida winter this year will be spent in more of a convalescing and getting better mode than swatting the golf ball around on the golf course. Today this seems like a bummer, but the problem is I am not swatting anything around right now anyway. More to come as I learn what is happening. Next doctor appointment is scheduled for a week from Thursday with Dr. Herman - my radiologist. (November 18th)

Jean and John Withers' son Todd and family are renting my unit in April. Hard to believe that our kids are older than we were when we bought 32 or so years ago isn't it? I haven't tired of it yet!!
ReplyDeleteHope all your doctor's reports are good ones. Stay positive.
You all are welcome to make this a pit stop on your way to Florida. Hang in there!
