all good

this morning, before heading into the Daily News office, I called UCLA and lab by lab tracked down the results of my blood test from Sept. 26. took about twenty minutes of getting passed around, retelling my story and writing down a handful of different phone numbers.
the results were faxed to Tucson this morning. Dr. Ahmann's folks made sure to tell me so.
Just a few minutes ago, Ahmann's people called to say he had inspected the results and everything looks good.
hopefully I'll have a new oncologist for the next test -- which will also include another CT scan, as it has been four months since the last.
