3/26/10 Appointment

Met with Dr. Kerr, my new Lancaster oncologist ,on Friday. My previous one went into a private practice but I preferred to stay with LGH.

Kerr seemed to be very nice and I understand from many sources very competent and caring.

He reviewed my recent blood work and examined me. He feels I am tolerating the beads well.

In about 3 weeks I will have a pet scan to see what effect they are having.

It's been about 5 weeks since they were inserted and I continue to feel weak and fatigued. I do get a spurt now and then but it doesn't last long. But as long as it's doing the job I'm fine with it.

Have a Happy Easter!!!...jm

Follow up appointment

Saw my oncologist yesterday and she said my liver is holding up well so far. My only side effects have been a loss of appetite and feeling weak and fatigued. This is expected to continue for another week and then start to subside. I will be house bound til then.

My next follow up appointment will be in 3 weeks with a pet scan in 6 weeks. After all this radiation I will soon probably start to glow in the dark!....jm
