As Adrienne nears the end of the semester and final exams, she is very busy. She's had an appointment to see her oncologist on Friday for some time but she heard from him yesterday that he wants a CT before he sees her. We knew she needed to have one soon but she didn't expect to squeeze it in such a short time. The only time Adrienne has available is Friday before her appointment. We appreciate that he, like her doc at Stanford, reviews her scans quickly and lets us know what's going on. I think it's awful how many doctors make their patients wait, agonizing over what might or might not be. (NEW: Right after I posted this, the hospital called to schedule Adrienne's appointment and they don't have a convenient time for her until next Wednesday.)
I worry about Adrienne going to some of these appointments on her own but she wants to so I'll respect her wishes. She says she's up to anything and I trust her judgement.
Adrienne will also see the cardiologist and endocrinologist on Friday. She is feeling much better on the thyroid medication but she has to cut the pill, so she's going to see if she can bump the dose up a bit to get to a whole pill (she takes 62.5 mcg now and there's a 75 mcg pill). She isn't having any side effects like nervousness so hopefully that will work.
