Immediately Brooks, as of today I belong to Vanderbilt solely...
I canceled both of my appointments with my Onc here today and my port I am going to call tomorrow for the exorcism (LOL) to be done asap.........
I started blood draws (CEA) Monday to get baseline 0-3 hopefully....and then get checked out every 3 months as before with CT at 6 months then CT each year for a few years ...Blood draws every 3 months for a couple of years then go to 6 month intervals..All of this now being done at Vandy...2 1/2 hrs away...not to bad, a nice day trip...If you re occur according to her the 5 year mark begins again...Which doesn't matter to me 5-10-15, I will still look over my shoulder but I WILL live large.........Buzz
