Lots of Care

LTFU.  That's the department name of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, Long Term Follow Up.  They keep track of transplant patients after we leave Seattle.  I talked with the charge nurse from LTFU today.  She wrote down all of my current symptoms and health details, then she will have a meeting with the doctor tomorrow morning to decide how to proceed with different medications or even a physical visit in Seattle.

The amount of care from this place isn't like any other that I have encountered.  How many doctors will keep track of their patients months after treatment and constantly monitor new treatment and medication options?  For the SCCA, LTFU, it's a matter of routine.  I may have had a deadly disease that could even return some day but with this type of care, I'm not a bit worried.  They will know if anything returns and they will take care of it if it does.

  1. So, Mike did you get all your shots ? Any problems with them and maybe that's what going on? Did your donor contact you?
