More appointments today. We saw our regular kidney doctor today for a check up. All was good. We saw the surgeon today that did Steve's surgery. All was good. The surgeon said to come back in 6 months but to keep sending all test that he has done at KU so he can keep up on what is going on.
Steve will probably only do blood work once a month as long as he feels good. She did say today that she want to keep an eye on his iron. He was slightly anemic. Not unusual after having a kidney taken out to be this way. Normal is 13 and he was slightly below 13. As long as he stays between 10 and 13 he won't have to get iron shots. Dr. Brown said this is normal and she is not worried but does want to watch the iron. We will see her again the end of April.
The next thing is another ct scan, which was what the plan was from the cancer doctor 3 months after surgery. So is going to get that done. Sometime in May he will have another ultrasound done on his kidney to see if the cysts have changed or any other issues show up. This will be done at KU. Sometime this week one of the doctors from KU will be calling with the results of all his test he had done last Friday. This is quite impressive now with all the doctors he has seen or will see.
Doctor B primary care
Doctor B Nephrologist
Doctor AJ Oncologist
Doctor L Urologist
Doctor H KU Urologist
Doctor W KU Nephrologist
Doctor G KU Cardiologist
You try keeping appointments straight with all these people and see if you are still sane. I don't believe he could be getting any better care.
