cptmac had clean scans

Postby cptmac » Wed May 06, 2009 9:34 am

Only one more to go.... I'm feeling sad, because I like my oncologist. He informed me that he still sees some of his patients for up to 10 years after. I told him I'm a bit concerned about the radiation from the CT, he stated I didn't have to have them after my one in six months.

So Yea, I won't have to lose my favorite doctor.

As you all know, I always ask a ton of questions. I didn't have to many this time, and lo and behold, TLC did a program on conjoined twins, and many questions pored out onto my paper from that.

So once again, I had his full attention for an hour.

I also showed him picts and my invitations from the Presidential Inaugeration. Let him know I talked to the Senators about him. I told the Senators that its great to require computerized medical records, but not every office can afford it. Now I see it's in Obama's stimulus plan. Yea....
