Today, I requested my records be shipped by Emory to MD Anderson. I have set up an account at MD Anderson.
Once the documents are received, a physician will review then in 3 days and, if accepted, I will receive an appointment within about 2 weeks.
The only reason I believe I may not be accepted is if they say there is no reason for me to go there for radioactive iodine treatment, because I can receive that in Atlanta.
With that in mind, I have an appointment set up at Emory on January 18th to consult with the radiologist, the individual that administers the treatment of the iodine. The treatment should be around 2-3-2008, regardless of whether it is at Emory or MD Anderson.
About Me
- Steve Schultz
- I found out I had Hurthle Cell cancer on December 20, 2007, on my father's 70th birthday. This cancer can have a mortality rate in the 50-65% rate within 5 years, with a median life expectancy of 38 months. I am in the high risk group, but after almost three years, I am optimistic that I will live a long life.
