I've been reading about everyone and their healthcare issues. I hear you. Between getting things done, and managing our health, things sure can get busy.

| Dog tick or moose/winter tick |
May 6th we had captured a tick on my arm with a piece of tape. Sending off the photo to eTick, they told me it was either a Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick), or Dermacentor albipictus (winter or moose tick). Neither transmit Lyme Disease. Interesting stuff.
I decided to look at Joe Brian's appointments. He has had ~124 appointments since 2013:
PART CXXIV – Bone Mineral Density test #9, Mar. 19. Maybe in prep for going off Lupron injections in summer. This includes quarterly PSA and Lupron injections. The PSA tests have gone down to once every 6 months.
The Lupron keeps the metastasized cancer cells from growing.
Prostate cancer tests
Bone Mineral Density Scan #9 March, 2026
CAT scan #8, 2021
Ultrasound #4, 2018
Biopsy #2, 2015
Colonoscopy 2015
Yes, indeed. We do a lot of trekking in to medical stuff. Add teeth and it is even worse. JG has consistently had low scores on the cancer, though. Ten years, almost. And no problem.
ReplyDeleteI guess I do alright with medical issues all in all. Still, they are a pain — literally.
ReplyDeleteI shudder to think how many appointments my husband had had since 2013...Cancer gives you 20 plus appts every month:(
