Hap and Mary met with his doctor at Sloan yesterday. Hap had his usual blood work first and then followed with the doctor visit. His doctor was concerned about his frequent itchiness and slight bloating on the left side of his face. Hap’s blood pressure was slightly elevated,
but he told his doctor it was due to the “city driving”.
She delayed his ocetreotide treatment for two hours until she reviewed his blood work. Bilirubin was good and most levels were OK,
so she then ordered the nurse to administer the ocetreotide injection.

Hap continues to feel well and is grateful for that.
He follows up in March with a full cardiac evaluation and more scans to monitor his progress.
