Malignant / Benign Thoughts. May Day 2019
May Day. International Workers Day... ah, everywhere except Canada and the United States.
I did my quarterly blood draw, lab and Telemed visit yesterday with my oncologist, Dr. Apar Kishor Ganti. All systems are go. The creatinine is a bit high... that's associated with kidney function. They were damaged 5 years ago when malignant tumors blocked the flow creating the acute renal failure. Fortunately chemotherapy and dialysis got the boys up and running again but not without a little damage. I'm just happy they're functioning. Thanks again to my beloved Army of Prayer Warriors. You helped me piss off my hospice team.
Yesterday, after the Telemed at the VA Clinic, sitting and sipping at a new Starbucks on East O Street, I discussed a European trip with Sandy for the first time... told her how I'd like to make that trip that Mom never realized... the one to Sweden, home of great-great-grandparents (stormormor) and a few 2019 cousins.
