Had my 2 month checkup with Dr.
Had my 2 month checkup with Dr. Anna Pavalick at NYU Clinical Cancer Center.Very Happy news.As for scans that were done Aug.22 the conclusion is that "Z" is doing its job.There is only a trace of the disease.About 1% detected.Next visit is not till Dec.19.with scans not till late Feb.2013.I have been on full doseage of "Z" 13 1/2 months.I now can go forward wiyh wellness physical checking my choletersol.prostate exam and colonostophy.When originally diagnosed with stage 4 in late Feb.2011 primary doc did not even worry about any other health issues.Now Dr.Pavalick insist on the phyiscal.We can beat this beast.Too those others who are fighting this disease and offer support it iis the greatest feeling knowing that i am not fighting this alone.Love the support from the cheer leaders who offer words of kindness .support and prayers,Thank God for all the loving family and freinds I have to fall back on in this time of need.

Great news. I'm glad you got the scans all straightened out. Ha, I know what you mean about your wellness physical. I had a surgical consult when I first found out about my prostate cancer. He said given the slow prostate progression and stage IV melanoma, I probably didn’t have to worry about the prostate. I’m getting ready to schedule my third prostate biopsy.
Good you had your appointment with Dr. Pavlick this week instead of next week. I'm not looking forward to sharing my trip to NYC with the remnants of Sandy.
