Dr.Ison , Appt. Jan 10, 2007

Stefan had an appointment with Dr. Ison, (infectious disease) on Wednesday. He was told that he would like him to have a CT Scan done before taking him OFF of the Posaconozole (now called Noxafil FDA name). Scan will be scheduled for April 25, to see if there are any traces of the MUCOR virus that attacked Stefan in his sinus cavities. If all is clear then he can stop taking THAT drug. If not, then keep on taking it and another CT Scan to be done in a month. So for now he IS still taking the drug twice a day as before. We get it as a prescription drug now , which means that we pay for it.

Stefan has another appointment with Dr. Olga on the 23 of January at 9am. At that time he is scheduled for a bone biopsy to be done. This will tell us if his counts are moving or still standing below 100. We are hoping that the counts have made SOME progress since last visit. Will keep you posted. Thanks for checking up on him here.
