Team Schrank Drafts Dr.Harold “Open a Can on Cancer” Pelzer

1. I met with the oncologist today, Dr. Augunlik. Not much new information there. I have an appointment for another CT scan of my chest and abdomen to see if the cancer has spread anywhere else in my body. If it is contained in the lacramal gland only, I will have surgery to remove it.
2. From there, Dr. Augulnik will assess how successful the surgery is and if I will need to undergo radiation treatment and/or chemotherapy.
3. I’ll be meeting with the surgeon who will take out the cancer tomorrow morning. His name is Dr. Pelzer. He is one of two otolaryngology surgeons (he is a chief ENT surgeon) at Northwestern, and he has been nominated for a bunch of awards and such. Bottom line: another blue chip Doctor for Team Schrank. I can’t tell you how happy I am to have access to this level of health care, courtesy of Northwestern Memorial.

Next update will be after my meeting with Dr. Pelzer tomorrow. I may also have the CT tomorrow if they can get me in. Go Team.

  1. I'm glad to see you in good spirits Shrank, as long as your feeling good about things I will too. We got better things to worry about like making it to the super bowl with Rex Grossman and getting playoff tickets.

  4. Nothing can keep TEAM Schrank down! As far as those drinks, me paying for yours isn't anything new. You just let me know when brother. I know you will kick this, and I will be standing by with my "liquid medicine" whenever you need it!
