November 22, 2017 (Wednesday)
Today was one of the biggest days in my battle against cancer! After meeting with Dr. Bessudo (oncologist) last Friday and not feeling great about him / not feeling great about his office & support staff. Today is the day I meet with another oncologist, Dr. Bazhenova. Through different circles looking for referrals, Dr. Bazhenova’s name repeatedly came up. We (me, Mo and my parents) met with Dr. Bazhenova at 3:30pm on the day before Thanksgiving. As I look back at this, probably not the best day / time to meet with someone, just hours before a 4-day weekend. But this meeting went FANTASTIC! Dr. Bazhenova was great! Her nurse practitioner, Jennifer, was FANTASTIC! The meeting was so much better than I could have ever hoped! While I stated that I would need the weekend to decide what I was to do. I knew walking out of their office that they were the ones for me. When we got to the parking lot, my mom, Bill and Mo all felt the same way. Such a blessing to have found them. It was making the Thanksgiving holiday that more special knowing we found our Quarterback!
