New Oncologist Appointment Results

I don't post for months and then I post nearly every other day. Well, I guess it's cause it's easier when you have some news to relate.

Gary and I saw my new Oncologist yesterday afternoon. He spent a long time reading, explaining, and answering questions on the 29 page consent form. It also explains how often I'll be driving to Scottsdale to be checked or tested. I signed and initialed the pages and now I'm in. Tuesday they'll call me and set up all the testing I need to have done before the drug trial starts which is very soon.

I thought my cough would get better now that the liter of fluid is out of my lung space. Things still are not what they were 5 months ago. I don't know how long it's supposed to take for that lung to go back into place. The coughing is as annoying for everyone around me as it is for me. Well maybe more annoying and painful for me.

This morning I went to the Weight Training class and I wouldn't miss that. It's so great and even though I enjoy it more when it's over than while I'm doing it, I'm hoping it'll strengthen those muscles that have been sitting around for over a month.

During the testing I won't be seeing my first Oncologist or my Radiation Doctor. Hopefully this testing will bring about a drug that will help a lot of cancer patients. I like to think that.
