Good Check Up

Mary Jo had her three month check up with Dr. Gall on Wednesday at Dr Gall's Burnsville office of Minnesota Oncology.  Dr Gall did a complete blood lab work along with a case review and follow up questioning with Mary Jo and he gave Mary Jo a through physical examination.  Oncologists are very interested in any possible new changes to the body that Mary Jo could be experiencing such as soreness, tenderness, weight loss or swelling .  Any of these symptoms would suggest much more in depth testing but Mary Jo continues to improve as time goes on without any of the tell tale symptoms.  Dr Gall gave Mary Jo a clean check up and said there are still no signs of cancer in her body.  She will continue to take Aremidex for the next four years and be monitored closely every three months until she gets to her two year mark, a milestone in cancer recovery.  After she reaches her two year anniversary after treatment, she will be monitored every six months.  Mary Jo is doing well these days and were are trying are best to raise money for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day.  We have a very high goal this year so we are urging everyone we know to help if they possibly can.  I know the economy is tough these days so we understand if people can't help financially this year.   If you would like to donate, just click on the link on the "DONATE" link in the right column.
