Friday was nonstop as Carroll and I met with my case manager, patient educator, oncologist, and nutritionist. Everyone is very friendly here and you know that you aren't just a number. The best part is I don't have to do a thing. All my appointments are coordinated, and I know that everyone on my team is getting the SAME information they need. I don't know if it's part of CTCA employee training or maybe the folks in Oklahoma are just naturally friendly - like they are in North Carolina.
The cafeteria (they call it a cafe) here is incredible. Everything is organic and designed to repair the immune system. The food is actually delicious even if it is healthy. Yesterderday for lunch I had a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich, sweet potato fries, and cream of sweet potato soup for $2.00! The green tea is free. There is one area of the cafe where you can order all types of custom protein shakes and smoothies. I got a "prescription" for my protein shake from the nutritionist yesterday. I need 60 grams of protein a day which is kind of hard to manage when I am trying to keep the calories down since it's difficult for me to exercise right now.
We still haven't made a final decision about whether I will stay here for treatment or go back to Long Beach. I have a lot of tests to take on Monday and Tuesday, and I still have to meet the homeopathic doctor. Once we get all this information, it will be clearer which way God wants me to go.
