4th Dual Treatment and a Birthday

2 days ago (Tuesday), I had my 4th dual treatment of Opdivo and Yervoy. Also I met with Dr Garly, and after discussing some of my recent gas issues, we decided to move the next CT scan forward a bit to see if I had any growth in my intestines. I don't have the date yet, but expect to know sometime soon.

We also discussed my plans for after she leaves, and a couple of oncologists at Good Samaritan hospital whom I'd considered. Interestingly Dr Garly may be at the Corvallis Clinic longer than August, depending on the management (as she's a Locums doctor, she has a temporary contract here.) I do enjoy working with her, and let her know I'd stay in her service while she's here. I had a joke, but as I'm resting at home with a gurgling belly, you'll just have to imagine something funny and smile.

The blood work shows I'm remaining stable at 9.9, for a 2nd week, which is great news. The rest of my test screen shows I'm holding the other important bits (electrolytes, etc.) in a normal range, so that's good news as well. Must be those shakes blends Ki makes for me and the yummy gummy multivitamins.

And for those who haven't seen any of the wedding pics posted on Facebook, here is one of Ki and I. 

I also turned 47 last Saturday.
