His evaluation with the new oncologist went pretty good!!!! She’s no nonsense, direct and is getting involved in his care in a way that I appreciated very much. Took me a minute to adjust to that but, she will be getting in touch with the local pain doc, his general practitioner and calling Nemours Children’s Hospital about the pain management program that we have the evaluation set up in June. She wants to be involved and make sure everyone is on the same page and she wants to make sure everything is in Adler’s best benefit. That’s what I appreciated. It’s something kind of foreign to me and I wasn’t sure how to take it at first but realized it was a good thing. I’ve had to do SO much on my own for him that for her to step in and step up was a bit shocking. All in a good way though!!!! But my control freak side was like ummmmm, hang on, I got this. But again, it’s all for the good of Adler and I like that!!! A lot!!!! Now there’s no magic pills or anything and she made that clear and we knew that. Been down that road already. She’s all for alternative treatment and learning ways for Adler do deal with and live with his unfortunately unique to him due to his cancer chronic pain. So those avenues will be looked at. Some already known and possibly revisited. Along with her kind of being the hub for all of it between docs and hospitals. His next MRI will be in May and once that’s tucked away, if all is good, we can focus on that appointment in June at Nemours in Orlando and getting that piece all situated. Mannnnnn. Disney is in 20 days. And do we ever need that magic!!!!!
