JPS? who , what? well its the county hospital where u go for gunshot wounds, car wrecks, indigent careand this
Fort Worth’s JPS Named the Best Hospital in the Nation – D Magazine
its not unusual to go for a scan and see a deputy with a prisoner in shackles……but they saved my life.
I could have gone to Texas Oncology but it seemed the 400 doc practice, at least at the partner level opposed Obamacare. go figure. the AMA once opposed Medicaid. Docs are political creatures too.

Congratulations! It appears you just hit the jackpot. Enjoy every minute of it.Optivo is Optivo regardless who administers it or where it is given. It will either work, or not or one falls in the inbetween stage.
May you continue to be NED for years to come!

Tim,Great news and congrats! This is definitely one for the win column!! I’m still hoping to join you soon, I have an appointment with the surgical oncologist next week to discuss lymph node and what’s left of ol’ Fred (my non-affectionate name for the mole that started this mess) resection. I’m ready for it; currently on targeted therapy, started with Braftovi/Mektovi but I couldn’t tolerate it so moved to Tafinlar/Mekinist at half dosage and I seem to be doing somewhat better.
Go Sooners! 🙂 Take care and enjoy the NED life!!
