2nd PRRT in Switzerland

Connie and I are back from my 2nd treatment in Bazel, Switzerland.  Treatment was on October 3rd and was a little easier then the 1st one.  I think the anxiety was lessened as well because we knew what to expect and where to go and so on.  After the treatment and scans the Doctors said that the Tumors seemed to be stabilized to some degree, but my liver was still very large and burdened so for now I have blood work drawn every 2 weeks and the results sent to Basel.

 My third treatment is scheduled for 12/12/2012 and hopefully that will start to reduce the liver burden and lessen the Tumor growth so I will not need anymore treatments at least for some time.  The 2nd treatment cost breakdown:  Treatment:  $5200.cfs, Airline tickets $2200.cfs, Hotel:  $1100.cfs, Misc./food, etc.:  $500.cfs = Approx. $9000.cfs or $9,900US at this time. 

On a good note, the side effects of the 2nd treatment were less of a problem and I have been feeling a little better since we got back home. 

As far as the flight back and fourth goes I don't think anything can make that better unless Star Treks transporter is available. 

Once again Connie and I wish to thank everyone for their kindness and prayers, and support in anyway during this very difficult time in our lives. 

FYI:  Connie and I contacted Delta Airlines prior to our first overseas trip to look into the Delta Sky Miles program which would allow us to save $'s on the upcoming flights!  They advertise they are sky partners with KLM and Air France, not exactly correct.  After our first flights over and back we were scheduling for our second trip only to find the Sky Miles were only good on Delta flights and could not be used on the other transfers (Sky Partners)?  After a lenghtly discussion over the phone with Delta they agreed to discount our tickets for the 2nd trip by $550.US so be sure you ask as many questions upfront as possible!

One other thing to consider is to avoid the Paris airport for transfer flights if possible, RUDE & UNHELPFUL to the MAX.

    The cancer may also spread to more distant parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream. Not all tumors are cancerous. Benign tumors do not grow uncontrollably, do not invade neighboring tissues, and do not spread throughout the body. Thanks.

    The definitions of the various types of health care vary depending on the different cultural, political, organizational and disciplinary perspectives, there appears to be some consensus that primary care constitutes the first element of a continuing health care process, that may also include the provision of secondary and tertiary levels of care. Thanks.

    In spite of the fact that Switzerland is unbiased, it is prepared for an outside assault. https://loparemovals.com/how-to-call-switzerland-from-uk-swiss-dialing-code/
