Update: Since ending tx on Aug 31, was back at work full time by Oct 1st, on his first int'l business trip in early December to Asia, headed to Europe today. After being out of action since April, he has a lot of catching up to do. He continues to amaze me and his docs how quickly he's returned to a life we recognize, the PET/sarcoidosis episode not withstanding. Only tough issue he's still dealing with is dry mouth, which when you consider where he started, we will take it!
Question: He still has his port in. At what point do they normally take the port out?Thanks Ana
P.S. His hair is back, same beautiful silver hair as before. That said, get a call from his first trip out saying his hair is growing crazy. I ask where, he reports eyebrows (ok, get that) and left ear. Left ear?? I suppose that's what personal trimmers are made for, but of all the weird things!
