Onc visit summary

So as expected I am healthy enough to have my treatment tomorrow.  A couple of things were a bit unexpected; first my appointment was done on-time and it was not a rushed one!  Second and for me the positive one was that the onc (a new one for me) was happy to hear that I had taken on running the marathon and quite surprised when I told him my time and that it was a personal best, he commented on my strong and low heart rate and encouraged me to continue running and be physically active as he believed it to be one of the most under-rated pieces of western healthcare.  When the appointment was over and as I was getting ready to leave one of my regular onc's came to the room to congratulate me on the run and let me know that it is not very often they get to hear of such successes.

I was more than a little proud as I left and it set the tone for the remainder of the day, I would encourage you all to get just a little bit more physical exercise in your routine no matter what it is.

Thanks and talk to you tomorrow.
