Good work Db, are saunas part of your treatment or something that you enjoy?
That's very good news! I am happy for you! And long may it continue!
Great news. Took me 2 years to get to 0.1 Summer is my time of year also. Enjoy.
Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things....

Thanks for such a positive report. I had my first MO appointment yesterday and this same treatment was outlined for me. My only concern is the cost. I am on Medicare part D and the co pay can be prohibitive. Can you enlighten me on the cost.
I am blessed with insurance that covers the cost for a year after I paid the first 2500 once ... I thought it was pretty fair for what it costs .. My Mo says if you can’t het it covered he does 6 rounds of chemo which is easier to get covered but with only one met not the preferred treatment.. good luck ...
Thanks for al the kind words!! People without our issues don’t understand the joy this kind of stuff brings us ...
