Saw my med onc in the halls

After radiation today I ran into my med onc outside the chemo infusion area in the hospital. I haven't seen him since last summer and had made an appt. recently to see him towards the end of March. He's a really sweet guy and greeted me warmly. I wasn't sure if he knew everything that was going on but he said that my gyn onc had informed him of everything. He said he'd heard I had a "local" recurrence. I was glad to hear he thought of this as a local recurrence. Anyway, I told him that I had seen a med onc at Fox Chase, he asked what he said, I told him and he looked at me and said we'll talk when I see him in March. He said that I had gained weight and looked great, (he always comments on my weight gain as if it's a good thing LOL, gotta love this guy) and that we want to keep me doing great so we'll talk. It sounded to me like he thinks I should have some further preventative treatment. Kind of ironic that he's thinking more aggressively when I thought the guy at Fox Chase would. Then it dawned on me, to the dr. at Fox Chase I'm a statistic, you do or don't do this or that based on statistics. To my med onc I'm a real person, someone he knows and likes and he wants to do what is best for me personally. As we parted he asked me if I'd done anymore television work (referring to the public tv documentary on the arts in medicine I was interviewed for which aired last year). I told him no, it was a short lived career :-) So we'll see what he has to say next month.
