Guest guest Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi all - Glad some leggy people wrote. When I asked, no one replied so figured I had dreamed some past posts. I suppose cousin Dona's are fluid. She has been in Houston a few days. Had her slightly-over-a-minute visit with Dr. Cortes. He was trying for a noon departure and changed it to 11 a.m. Nurse said he had 40 patients to see that a.m. Also, she was able to see a Dr. Foreman, neurologist within MDACC. He spent an hour with her. Doesn't want to prescribe Lasix even though stronger than ide. Would prefer upping the ide. Said Aranesp such a strong med, he advised no more shots. Could be cause of the imbalance that is permanent. Also, 2 blood pressure meds that should never be taken together could be causing some of her side effects. All in all, she is grateful for the consult. Somewhat alarming: when she went to pharm for Gleevec, they gave her 90 days supply instead of regular six months. She was told Dr. Cortes needed to see her in 3 months. Must have been something in her bloodwork. He had gone and no one will give any info. as not allowed to. She is naturally somewhat concerned. Very warm regards, Avis (Hertz Nurtle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
