Thank you to everyone for the replies & reassurance !

Knowing that I will receive a copy of blood test results & then I can email the results to MD Anderson is a great help. They go over the results & do tell me if I need supplements such as potassium or if any other numbers are of concern. At times magnesium is low & I take tablets with me for that too.

I will not let cancer limit my enjoyment ( and that of my dear husband/caregiver) as every day is precious for everyone!

Have to call HAL again as no one from "Fleet Medical" returned my call.

However, as usual, fellow cruisers can be counted on for good information!

Thank you all so very much...

Whoops, yes I thought that was a question mark!

To the posters concerned about my cruising because of the cancer treatment:

I have cruised several times during treatment. I too have Purell with me at all times and avoid buffets and wipe down all surfaces in my cabin as soon as I arrive. I never touch handrails with bare hands etc.

As for the blood draw:

I just need CBC & CMP results sent back weekly because I am in a clinical trial.

Once in a while my potassium gets low and i need to take a supplement for a few days.

Thank you for your concern, but I have a chronic condition so as long as chemo can keep my disease stable I have decided to enjoy the days I have.

Can I have blood tests on Prinsendam?

I am a cancer patient and I need weekly blood tests sent in to MD Anderson in Houston Texas. I have called HAL to ask this question and am awaiting a return call from "Fleet medical".

I just thought some one on this forum might know the answer.

OK will see if i can find HAL Board & post again.

thanks, Keith...

You have expressed my concerns so well AND I posted same query on Tripadvisor (Copenhagen forum) and had 2 replies there saying what you've said.

Guess we have to add to the budget for buying the airmiles we need, meals and a night in hotel for staying until the next day!

Goes against our frugal nature....

Thanks again for the reply.

We have a chance to book air using FF miles leaving Copenhagen on Delta at 10:45 AM. Our Regent cruise ship arrives Copenhagenat 7AM on a Mon. Anyone know how long it takes to get ship cleared in Copenhagen and for people to disembark?

I have found posts saying airport is about 45 min away from port, just not sure about getting off the ship early enough to arrive at airport with 2 hours ahead of flight, assuming that is what we need

I have flight held so must decide SOON.

Don't have enough miles to go next day as price goes up 35,000 FF miles for 2 tickets on a Tuesday departure.

Thanks in advance for any help or sharing your experience disembarking in Copenhagen...
