Cancer Update: Met with Oncologist today. 3 more months of treatment.
Readout note to my Oncologist and the team:
"Doc H(2), what a wonderful meeting. Thank you. My understandings -
James M."
"Doc H(2), what a wonderful meeting. Thank you. My understandings -
Doc H(2), thank you for such a kind, patient, thorough, respectful, knowledgeable meeting today.
I am extremely fortunate that you are my oncologist. Doc H(1) was right about you, I see.
These are my central understandings:
*. It continues to seem that we are on track, probably, for a full 'cure' of my cancer - normal
lifespan NOT shortened by the cancer. There are NO certainties, of course, but the operation
looked to be 100% successful, and with the regimen below, we hope to get whatever
cells may have escaped, for life!
THANK YOU ALL.
1. We need to do at least, and hopefully, just 4 more chemo treatments, because
cancer cells do not all present at the same time, so we need at least 4 attempts to
get them all.
2. We will start not today, but next week, Monday, 12/2, 1:30pm, so that I have a 2nd week of feeling healthy under my
belt before we start this taxing chemo regimen.
3. I've asked Nurse J to schedule the CT scan for me the week of 12/9, in the early
afternoon.
4. I've
asked Nurse J to schedule my 2nd chemo for the afternoon of 12/16,
and a meeting with you just prior, again, early afternoon.
5. Infirmary: We expect and hope that the Infirmary will continue to take me for the
next 2 months of chemo AND for the following month as I heal from the chemo treatments!!!
6. The expectation for CT scans is roughly every 3 months, for the first year at least,
and then maybe going down to just 2 per year.
###7. Please have your INSURANCE EXPERT CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL:
POSSIBLE SWITCH TO MEDSTAR MEDICAID. I'll email Nurse J about something I overlooked.
You indicated there is a gentlemen, Henry(?), who is an expert in the medical plans.
Issue
being I am just 62 and want to activate my Social Security Retirement so I can donate it to
friends in need, and various causes, but this income will kick me off of DC Medicaid that
I am currently on, AND I WILL NOT CHANGE INSURANCE, unless and until I know that:
A. Medstar Medicaid would cover all my treatments, drugs, etc (as I've been preliminarily
told it would); and
B. THAT I GET CONFIRMATION THAT YES, INDEED, MY SOC SEC INCOME LEVEL WOULD
QUALIFY ME FOR MEDSTAR MEDICAID. (I'm NOT guessing your expert can help me
with this part, tho it would be great if he can.) I'm working with others on this, too.
NOTE: I will NOT make any switch of insurance until it is CERTAIN that it will NOT in any
way interfere with my ongoing treatment.
Thank you again for a deeply helpful meeting.

***** MUST SEE PIC. To the fetus: "We'll do whatever we can to protect your life!" To the infant: "NOW YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!" GET A JOB, MOOCHER!" "I HOPE YOUR TRAMP MOM DOESN'T WANT FOOD STAMPS TO FEED YOU!" "...OR MEDICAL INSURANCE!"
Pro-Life: from conception to birth and not a moment more!

pic. "American corporate logic: Why should I pay my employees above poverty wages when the taxpayer is willing to feed them for free?"
OUTRAGEOUS!!
"Always low prices" aren't so low when you consider the BILLIONS of
taxpayer dollars that are spent on the social welfare programs that
poverty-wage employees must qualify for
to survive. Talk about corporate welfare! How does this arrangement
benefit ANYONE but the Waltons?

***** nd. Cancer Update: "During the time of my depression, I had forgotten what extreme pain is everpresent in Loving in this world. I was in the alternate fantasy world of overprivileged separation, self-centeredness. Then the pain of meaninglessness, solitude, un-loving... smothered me. And now I seem to have dug my way back to Humanity, Creation... Sanity, extreme pain for Creation, and all - Peace of Heart, Sanity, Meaning, Life, Joy." Loving

It's
really weird, but have you ever noticed that the GOP totally fits the
classic psychological profile of someone who abuses women?
