We had a nice chat with the surgeon. She explained the pathology report from all the stuff they took out during the surgery. It was all the same stuff that she had explained to Loretta over the phone. The new part was that they had had a conference (“they” are all the doctors of various specialties) and they decided that some more needed to come out. Yeah haw! More surgery. The best part of this otherwise bad news is that it will be after she is allowed to recover from the chemo – whenever that is. This one should also be much less invasive and not involve a drain, etc.
Then there is the weird thing going on with her skin (see Vanna, I’d like to buy a vowel). The surgeon, being a specialist in cancer, was concerned that maybe it was cancer exhibiting itself in very strange ways. It is very unlikely, but, since the cancer was found in the skin, it concerned her. Enough that she wanted some. So, using the most expensive hole punch known to man, she got another piece of Loretta and sent it off to the lab. We should have results from that tomorrow or Wednesday.
Next are the scans (bone and cat) with results for those ready on Wednesday when we meet with the oncologist.
Ah, is that “they” the Tumor Board? I once disguised myself as a cleaning lady and tried to crash a Tumor Board meeting so I could eavesdrop on what they were saying about my case, but apparently they don’t let cleaning ladies sit in. However if you’d like to crash yours, I now own a Famous Brain Surgeon costume replete with lab coat, Einstein wig, fake skull & rubber brain, and you’re welcome to borrow it. I’m sure they would never turn away a Famous Brain Surgeon, right?
Girl you look good! Thanks for the pics
Linsey told me a joke so lets see if I get it right. ” A dyslexic walks in to a bra.” Must have left something out.
I was listening to 90.3 FM radio today and I heard a song by Hoot Hoots, never heard of them either, and the song was called Home. If you can find it let me know what you think. It’s a little like “I’m So Glad”
What a day for you guys and it’s only Monday! Keep up the positive thoughts and the sense of humor.
Love you guys.
NO FAIR!
