Joes Oncologist appt!!

[Guest guest]

Went WONDERFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The doctor has him scheduled for Ct scans in Oct , after that he has to see the

surgeon for a checkup , and since he is seeing the surgeon right after the scans

, oncologist is not going to see him for SIX MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! unless of course

, bad things show up on those scans BUT THEY ARENT GONNA ~!!!!

He was interested in Joe's syrinx that they found , especially when I asked him

if chemo could cause the syrinx(fluid cyst like thing in spinal canal ) , as Joe

had no symptoms of this BEFORE chemo.

He says he is going to look into it and see if it can cause it

So anyhow Joe is doing GREAT , the doc said the neuropathy is most likely going

to be WORSE in the winter ( we live in Michigan brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) but should

be all better by spring!! (joe didnt care for that bit of news lol)

And yes Joe does keep me on my toes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is a tough guy with a soft interior (((((shhh dont tell him I told ya)

The other night he sat down with my parents and told my mom if she needed

anything to let him know even if its just a cup of coffee ( she started chemo

today )

He is such a softy at heart
