Treatment with a twist

Since my bladder is no longer calling the shots, I decided to shake things up. Sunday I drove to Ingleside. Sorry,  Melissa, I didn't have time to stop by CHH. I spent the night at  Bob & Holly's.  Monday I went to work with Bob and met his staff. I drove into the city and spent the night at my favorite Botel.
I'm in middle of my 4th (out of 6) treatment. Dr. Ma just left. She had some good news:

  • My blood work came back normal. The creatinine was 1.08.  With the stent being out, this is great! It means the kidney (s) are functioning well. Hopefully tomorrow's renal scan will prove the same. 
  • The fluid drained from my lung last week came back fine. No malignancy! Even though there was a small amount of malignancy in the fluid from the first drainage, it's good to hear there is none, now. 
From today's x-ray, there was a small amount of fluid around the left lung. Bummer. Dr. Ma isn't too concerned.

    Life looks even better after a quick trip through Jewish Camp. Minimal amounts of shalom happening at CHH.
    P.S. Hope neither you nor the Golds have been drinking the water up there, I swear there's something in it.
