@shanagirl How frightening for you to go through this. You have been on my mind lately and now I know why. I had no idea the algae in the air could affect a person like that. I will continue to hold you up in prayer.
My onc thought I had the beginnings of a UTI so my DD took me to the lab this morning. My peripheral neuropathy would only let me give them a very small sample even though I have been drinking water like crazy starting last night, but apparently it was enough. And nope, no UTI, at least according to the results. I will see what my PA messages me about it. My DH is at the skin doc having a MOHS done on a cancer spot on his nose. He has been there three hours already and I am a little concerned. I agree with @candy-678 that all this medicine stuff is weighing me down. My left eye has been getting gradually more blurry so I have got to figure that out now. SIGH I get to see my son and his family next week and fortunately it is my chemo off week so I should feel decent.

@intolight - So nice to see and hear from you! Shana's been on your mind, and you have been on mine. I just wanted to make a quick comment about the concern you having re the amount of time your husband has spent at his appointment.
I had Mohs surgery on my nose, granted it was 20 years ago, but it was a longer appointment than many. It was because they need time for the initial procedure of course, but then in my case I had to sit in a waiting room and wait quite a while , as they sent samples to a lab (in another location), and waited for it to be examined under a microscope, so they would know if they got everything or if they'd have to take more. If they have to take more, you have to go back to the procedure room, and take more time getting the additional area removed.
This was all 20 years ago, but maybe will provide some insight, even in today's world.
I hope this helps in some way, and that all goes well for both of you with this.

@threetree My DD has had several Mohs done recently, so I know the process and it sounds the same as 20 years ago. However, with my DH, when he discussed his appointment with the receptionist, she asked whether he would like to set up an appointment with the plastic surgeon first, and he refused. He is not vain or overly concerned with his looks and he is pretty laid-back. It is just that it is on his nostril and I am a worrier…
