October 1, 2009 - Medical Catching Up update

In this case... NO news is good news! It's hard to believe how well Jerry has been feeling since February. It's so hard for me to remember how bad Jerry was this time last year. If I look back on the blog a year ago it's so hard for me to believe what he was (and we were) going through. Thank God he has been doing so well. When we go for his oncology visits they are pretty uneventful so there really isn't much to blog about. The last visit he was slightly anemic so they gave him an IV of iron to help boost his system. But, other than that... the nurse draws blood, his blood goes to the lab, lab results determine what IV's he needs and the nurse starts whatever IV's he's going to have. The doctor comes in, proceeds with reviewing his medications list, asks questions and does his examination. Then when all the IV's are gone, we make our next appointment and head home for what may be a 1.5-2.5 hours drive depending on traffic. We go once a month up to Century City and our next appointment will be the 14th of October.
