We met with Dr. Ball, the oncologist at the UCSD transplant center, today to discuss my treatment at their center. We didn't get any definitive information today. The doctor will present my case to the department's review committee this Friday, and they'll make a decision about their proposed treatment for my lymphoma. We should hear something by Monday at the latest.
Meanwhile Dr. Ball's coordinator nurse suggested we should get another PET scan at Scripps, so now we are coordinating that, but our oncologist at Scripps wants to talk to the doctor at UCSD before ordering a scan.
Pray for our patience as we negotiate two medical bureauracies!! We also pray that we get into the transplant sooner rather than later. A cure is going to require a transplant no matter what, so we are eager to reach that point.
Soli Deo Gloria!!
Thanks for the update, Gerry. We're praying for you and Debbie.
