The Oncologist

Today we met our oncologist, Dr. Tiberio Lindgren. He is very energetic and knowledgable. He is also passionate about his pursuit of the best treatment for lymphoma - including mantle cell. After spending more than an hour going over lymphoma in general and mantle cell in specific, he then went over what we knew about my case. Our first course of action is to determine what stage I am in. Several expensive blood tests were ordered (my only cost was the loss of blood) and a bone marrow biopsy which will be done next week (3/26). I am sure greatful for medical insurance! Although we were a little disappointed in not finding out more about our course of action, we were very encouraged by meeting and getting to know Dr. Lindgren.
