Air Force Medical Boards

Not much going on this round of chemo. We are on week 3 of cycle 2 so Dan is feeling pretty good and has been going into work for half-days this week. Yesterday his friend Adam Pohl defended his thesis and Dan got to go in and see that. The other big news from this week was Dan met with the AF Medical Evaluation Board (MEB). This is a board that decides if your medical problems are too much to keep you on active duty and they medically discharge you or not. Right now there is no reason why they would discharge Dan, hopefully. His doctor submitted Dan's treatment plan and projected outcome for the board to review. I am not sure when they will make their decision but probably sometime during this next month. They may wait until his last cycle is done. I don't really know enough about the process to give you any more details, perhaps Dan will fill in some.

Next week we start the final cycle of Chemo. We have a couple movies saved up for watching during the treatments. Hopefully it goes fairly smooth again.

Sounds like a great deal of stress.
I hope and pray it is all for the best for you.
Livestrong!

Good luck with the Medical Board. I'm sure they see a fair share of testicular cancer among service men. Enjoy your last few days before round 3. You are almost done!
