Oncology Update
My oncology appointment lasted all of 90 seconds. It went like this:
Oncologist: Your PSAs are __, and your last biopsy was two years ago, so you're up for another one.
Me: Right.
O: I'll have my team contact you about setting that up.
Me: Okay.
O: Have your medications changed since our last appointment?
Me: Nope.
O: Okay, then. We'll be contacting you about the appointment.
And ... done.
I'm glad it was a video appointment. If I'd driven all the way to UM Ann Arbor, hunted for parking, threaded through the huge and labyrinthine palace of UM Medical, waited in the waiting room, and then seen the doctor for 90 seconds, I would have been rather put out.
For the record, I've been "downgraded" to barely having cancer. I'm on the observation list, and there aren't any indications yet that I'll need treatment. We're hoping it stays that way!
