Absolutely Amazing (he said tongue-in-cheek)

Met with my Oncologist this morning after two months of not receiving any cancer treatments because my body was being filled with antibiotics, and during the visit was told that the Infectious Disease Dept at the hospital had put in my report (numerous times) to them that my port have been removed.  NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH...

While this error did not hurt my reality, what if they had put something down that was also completely FALSE that changed the way my Oncologist was planning to treat me.  When you think about from that standpoint...  it is a HUGE ERROR...  and, leaves me wondering who can you really trust.

The CT scan that was taken while in the hospital with my Staph Infection was sufficient to show my Oncologist that there was no new growth going on inside me...  so, suspending my treatments was done at a PERFECT TIME thankfully.

I had my Opdivo treatment for Melanoma while I was there and will start taking my IMBRUVICA pills tomorrow (so I can get back on a morning schedule) for my Lymphoma.  My Oncologist, because of my Staph Infection, is considering starting me back on IVIG treatment once a month and will let me know in 4 weeks at our next regularly schedule meeting/treatment day.

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning, except I am living in TN...  however, I am originally from THE TAR HEEL STATE.
