We met moms Florida oncologist today. He has a great PA (physicians assistant) that spent a lot of time with us. She answered all of our questions before we even met the doctor. She was very impressed with how well mom responded to her treatment so far. The good news is that moms treatment seems really routine at this point. She is just here for a bit of maintenance. The practice is pretty big. The treatment room was giant and seemed very comfortable.
The doctor described mom as a bit of a miracle. I'll take that.
Although we didn't spend a ton of time with the doctor, he seemed really nice. We talked about additional medications that are now available or will be in the next few months. He also talked about how routine moms treatment is for them. They have lots of snow birds that come down. Some patients come for one shot a year.
The biggest physical attribute of moms doctor is his height. My guess is that he is at least 6 feet 8 inches tall. Dad is supposed to get me the actual height next week when moms goes for her treatment. He is going to ask one of the nurses or some other clandestine way.
I fly back to Michigan tomorrow morning. Back to the cold and snow. But also back to Andy and the girls. It was good to see how comfortable the new doctors office is. I am glad that I took the time to make sure that things are all set down here. I think she will be cared for really well, by both the new doctor and all of her wonderful friends in the park.
What a great news! Wonderful facility, friends, favorable treatment team and family. Enjoy the stay in warm weather. SS- Safe trip back!
