Santa Rosa treatments set up


 On May 11th Kathy and I met with Dr. Keiser to discuss my receiving my infusions here in Santa Rosa.  I had not seen him since I completed my arsenic treatment in 2008, but it seemed like it had just been last week.  I am so lucky to have such good doctors to care for me.  Dr. Keiser stated in sports terms that Dr. Martin would be the Coach “calling the plays” and his task was to carry out those plays.  That meant starting with having a port implanted to save my veins and allow better access for blood draws and the daily infusions.  Last Wednesday I went to Memorial Hospital to receive my new port.  This one was put on the left side, so I will now have matching left and right scars from the implants. 
 I will start my next ten days of infusions on Thursday, May 24th, my granddaughter’s 18th birthday.  Don’t know if that carries any significance, but I’ll take it as a good sign.
