Hello there,
Sorry to be late catching up with your thread here. I am just over the water in downtown Vancouver. I had a laugh at your description of the lab results mix-up, I can relate to that. MSP medical may be free for all, but it sure does pay to be informed and to keep your own files of results as a back-up.
Congratulations for the good results. Take it easy with the lifting, eh?
Keep us updated,

Greg...I hope you can encourage your buddy to post in case he could use some on-line support. I'm sure you have given him comfort...just knowing he's not alone in this is a huge weight off one's shoulders.
I hope the neuropathy is bearable and that the meds continue to help in some way. Take care!Maria

Saw Oncologist in Victoria today for follow up.Two years now since RPLND and all clear.
Neuropathy has become much more manageable with vitamins.Major change was I added a 50mg zinc tablet to my regular vitamins and poof no more pins and needles.I discovered this reading book "Nutritional Healing by Phyllis Balch".I was looking up tendinitis for my wife and found zinc in list of recommended vitamins, so thought I would try it. I have been working hard all summer on my feet and little to no pain.Hope this will help anyone else with same problem.
