My Cardiologist says I no longer have to take Xarelto because the heart monitor I wore showed no signs of afib... and, that my afib was probably only associated with a specific event like a staph infection and being sepsis.
My Urologist says that my PSA results are higher than normal but that might just be typical for me now especially after a recent biopsy of the prostate showed no signs of cancer... plus, prostate cancer is very slow growing and fairly easy to control.
My Oncologist says that my recent CT scan showed that my two cancers had showed no signs of activity which is good but I am to continue with the Imbruvica (Lymphoma) and Opdivo (Melanoma) to ensure similar results in the future. Because my treatments over the last 13 years have left me with a bad Thyroid, anemia, and an immune system that is almost non-existent, I will be receiving monthly IVIG treatment for a while.
My Dermatologist says that my full body scans are showing no signs of any pre-cancers but I am encountering a skin infection that will require on-going medication to correct. It is an antibiotic and my concern is that it could damage my organs or not be affective down the road.
Those are good results to have for a person with my age and diseases but it was nice not to have to get cleaned up and go anywhere...
