Another Milestone

Another milestone soon to be accomplished....

Spoke to my Chemo MD and ENT scoped me today also...

I got the official word; port is coming out in a week or two. I’m moving to four months between ENT visits, still six months between for my Chemo MD.

All blood-work is in normal ranges, TSH is still in the 5.6 range, but my T4 has stayed constant at .8 for the last year plus. GFR is 92, cholesterol is at 151, glucose 96, and everything is looking good.

My ENT cracked a joke today...he said "well, once in a while I get lucky"...I told him I'm a fisherman, I'll take lucky any day.

Thank you all for the support you give me and Shelley.

The relationships I have with all of you and several more of you on an even more personal level is huge.

Thoughts and Prayers to all of you and your family.
John

    Now that makes my day brother, no matter what happens today I will be able to keep a Happy Face just so glad to hear that all is well. We need to do something about that Cholesterol, my doc wants mine under 100 but that may be do to the P/B problems I have from the Rad treatment.

    Take Care

    Thanks All..
    Tim, actually that's good (or not bad) for Total Cholesterol, desired range is less than 199.

    Considering how much I love bacon, milk and butter, I'm lucky as for that.

    Fishing is definitely on the agenda for this week-end...BASS are biting very good, and the knee is in good shape again.

    Post count, LOL....HONDO has me beat by far, and Dawn is catching up fast...LOL.

    Best,
    John
