RAI
I would be accompanying Lyn to the doctor regarding the radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy being recommended for her. Left around 9:30 AM with my Rado Captain Cook Automatic on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
Last Friday, she already went to her doctor to show him the laboratory result of the specimen removed from her last operation. Her doctor recommended a doctor to go to (very good) instead of us going from one hospital to another starting at San Juan De Dios Hospital (which the surgeon recommended) to consult about the RAI therapy.
Dr. Hernandez of Adventist Medical Center Manila reviewed the result and said it was Stage 1B. There were new instructions that RAI is not needed in the case of Lyn because it is low risk. But for him, personally, if he has a family member who is in the same state as Lyn, he would recommend that they undergo the RAI therapy.
Since we still wish to proceed, he recommended a doctor who has clinics at ManilaMed and at Manila Doctors Hospital. Chose going to ManilaMed because she has more clinic hours in this hospital. Based on the hospital's website, her clinic is every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 1PM to 4PM and Saturday in the morning. Thinking we would be able to be there before 4PM, decided to go there.
But first, we stopped at The Aristocrat for our very late lunch.
When we arrived, her clinic was closed. Saw that there is a list outside clinic where you would write the pateint's name. And the time indicated is 10AM to 1PM. Hmmm.... TXTed the number written in the notice. There is a clinic on Thursday from 10AM to 1PM on a first-come first-served basis. Will just be back on Thursday.
Before proceeding home, we passed by Cash & Carry Mall to buy eye drops at Mercury Drug. Also bought lechon to-go, and ice cream from Dairy Queen.
