CT results Feb.
Late posting for the finding on my last CT scan done on Feb 7th.
Late because there is really nothing to tell.
They said that the growth of the tumors is not that substantial of a change from the last time we did a scan in December. This means that we will not have to go to the regular chemotherapy drugs and experience all those side effects.
Bad news is they still do not know when the experimental drug program is going to take place. It has passed one board and has to now pass the second board. They did tell me that the second one is more of an administrative board and the first one is a scientific type of certification.
So the hard one is done we just need to get the pencil pushers to agree to do it and then we can start. I am supposed to go back in a couple weeks and tell them how I am feeling. I will also meet my new oncologist on that visit. Hopefully then they will have better information on the details of the now famous or infamous experimental drug that I am starting to believe is just a fairy tale.
Also every time I get to see them I get banged for another $40 office visit and $118 for blood work done (my portion, not insurance's portion). Somebody has to pay for those country club memberships right? That can't happen if they just use the telephone to tell you when to come in for the experimental study, NOOOO we have to SEE you and do blood work (which always looks exactly the same).
Stay healthy.
