Had my 4 week appt today again. I had to wait a long time for them to even call me back for my lab work today. After waiting for about 20 minutes I went and asked at the receptionist desk and they said that they were just really busy and would get me back as soon as they could.  I ended up finally getting called back for the labs and by the time I saw the doctor it was about an hour past my appointment time.  (Usually they are pretty close to schedule and I am usually called back for my labs within 5 minutes of checking in at the front desk.)

I met with another resident fellow today. I'm never sure what to say to them because I really don't have any symptoms to complain about and not much to really discuss with them.  After that the doctor came in and I let her know that my surgeon is moving.  We think it would just be easier to transfer my care up to Huntsman so we are not having to send results back and forth between the two offices.

I also asked the doctor if I could ever be considered in remission. I have people ask me all the time and I am never really sure what to say to them.  She said that yes I can tell people that I am in remission - since I have no evidence of disease and my CA-125 number is within normal levels.  She said that I am just receiving maintenance therapy for the cancer - we are not actively treating any cancer.  So "YEA" I am in remission!!
