Thought I would bring you up to date on the carcinoid cancer journey. The Galium 68 scan is scheduled finally for June 1st in Iowa City, Iowa at the University Hospital.
My wife, Connie, and I will be driving there on the 31st of May and returning on June 2nd .. hopefully with good news so we can move on to begin the treatment in Basel, Switzerland.
So far the Octreatide shots seem to be keeping the Carcinoid Syndrome at bay and I'm feeling pretty well other than a little shortness of breath.
My kids are planning a fundraiser here at Lake of the Ozarks for Thursday, August 16. The hope is to raise a little bit of money to offset the cost of this thing. It's incredibly frustrating that my insurance won't cover anything associated with the tests and the treatment.
"a bit of money".....? I'm planning to raise a whole lot of money for you, mister!
