Status Update: April 24, 2012

Moving along on transferring medical stuff from Arizona to Minnesota.  Arranged the following today:


  1. Copy of medical records from my transplant team (will pick up Friday)
  2. CD copy of all scans (PET, etc.) from Radiology Limited (also will pick up Friday)
  3. Consultation at Mayo Clinic in July (yay!)
  4. Prescriptions picked up for the next 30-90 days, and refill scripts issued by my current primary care physician to cover me until I get a new PCP in Minnesota.


Timing is good on the schedule.  I see my new Oncologist in mid-June, just when it's time for my porta-cath to be flushed, then I have the Mayo Consultation about 5 weeks later in July - perfect time for the next flush as well.  If they do a full screening then, that will put me 3 months out from my 2-year milestone evaluations, so July will hopefully include my third quarter 2012 tests.

Okay, here's something that's really funny.  The person scheduling me at Mayo gave me a choice of three docs who work with transplants, and I chose Mikhailef Ivanova because in my new book I have a character I named Mikhaila Ivanova!  Strange, huh?  Or maybe not so strange...  dundundun  ;>
