Seattle Cancer Care Alliance

Today, I met with a T-cell specialist, Dr. Shustov, at the SCCA. We decided that I am going to do my primary care up at the SCCA, and follow up labs in Puyallup. The SCCA is more prepared for my type of cancer. I also found out that my cancer is also callled agressive lymphoblastic lymphoma or leukemia. (ALL) The SCCA wants to treat my cancer more agressively then I am being treated in Puyallup. He says there are better results when young adults are treated like pediatric patients are treated. So, I am checking into the UW medical center for my next round of chemo on Wednesday. Instead of waiting a set amount of time in between treatments, we are going to do each round once my counts are high enough. This way I am getting more treatments in a faster amount of time, not giving the lymphoma time to come back. Thanks to Kelsie and Travis for supporting me at my appointment today.
