I got a phone call from my oncology medical assistant this morning. She called to check on me - boy, did I give her an earful! She also called to say that my dr wanted labs - today! I am scheduled for labs on Friday, but with everything that is going on and my #'s so low, she was not willing to wait until then. She told me of a mobile lab (someone my lab tech at the cancer center told me about a couple weeks ago...interesting) and that the guy who owns the mobile lab would be calling me to schedule.
Fast forward to 430pm. His name is Christian and he is REALLY good at what he does. Once he got my hand settled, he put the needle in and I didnt even feel it - and - I have no bruise! We just chatted while he did the draw, needed quite a bit for all the labs that have been ordered by 2 doctors. He said that Dr McGregor has a standing order for weekly labs. He can come to me even before my appts so the lab results are there to talk about vs having to wait for them to be processed and hope they are done before my appt (which is what we have been doing up until now). I am really excited about this option. Will keep you updated on how things go.
If anyone has a need, or know someone with a need - Valdez Mobile Flobotomy.
