Done for a Year!
Just got back from Stanford, where I was treated for my RCC. All's well. But, of course, after getting the chest x-ray results and the CT results, we knew that. I guess I have to be a lot better since I've made the following progression in terms of who sees me:
At six months, the surgeon handled the appointment.
At one year, a nurse practitioner handled the appointment.
This time, at two years, a physician's assistant handled the appointment.
I guess I'll be getting a student nurse at the three year mark.
I get two more years of CT scans, then they want to convert me over to ultrasound, mainly, I think, because insurance won't cover the CT after four years unless there's a medical need.
But I love Stanford. Very thorough and very kind people.

They will be a lot nicer. But i’ve Had abdominal issues in th3 past and both my dad and paternal grandfather had aortas issues, so I don’t mind the CT that much since it can spot odd things in the neighborhood.
