Theresa had an appointment today with her Oncologist at the Dana Farber institute. She had to get up very early for the appointment, so she is at home resting now. She called me and asked if I would post a quick update while she rested and she promised to sign in and post details a little later.
She said that the appointment went really well. She loves her doctor (this is the first time she has met with him) and she said that the Dana Farber Institute is an outstanding place. Everybody was very nice and very professional, and everything about the place was impressive.
She'll fill everyone in on the details, but the basic message that she got was that she'll be able to live for a long time, even though she'll continue to have the carcinoid tumors. They also feel that they'll be able to control the symptoms of Carcinoid Syndrome with medication. So that's great news!
