Had to wait 2 hours for appt with Dr. Patel. She was on vacation last week so she's trying to catch up. Kristin and I watched Shawshank Redemption (one of my all-time faves) and eat pray love - loved the line in eat pray love "Ruin is a gift, ruin is the road to transformation."
Had a great nurse named Gladys from Columbia do my PIC line today. Very old school nurse. She was a fantastic communicator - both talking and listening - and just seemed to be a very powerful woman. Grateful for interactions and people like that. Those connections and comfort are priceless.
Was a little worried about a tickle in my throat for last 1.5 weeks, but it looks like my chest X-ray is clear. Irritating that every little thing that is weird with my body now has to be examined with melanoma goggles.
I was diagnosed stage IIIc in 2003, and also underwent biochemotherapy treatments. I'm still healthy and showing no evidence of disease. It's rough stuff, but you can do this! Best wishes to you in the coming weeks and months. Rich
