I got a call from my "2nd opinion" oncologist after he got the results of the pathology. He said the report was inconclusive. This is not necessarily "good news" but it does mean that it is not confirmed cancer and not confirmed the worst type of cancer for that location. We'll just have to wait to see.
I go to my primary oncologist, Dr. Chang, on Monday for a blood iron infusion because I was anemic in the hospital.
Tuesday, I go back for an appointment with Dr. Chang to go over the pathology and to lay out a game plan for Chemotherapy.
Friday, I go to Dr. Hansen, the Radiation Oncologist to see what radiation and other studies I am a good candidate for.
We are still anxious about that pathology report. Keep prayin' that it will come back with good news!
Last Friday 1/2/09, I had a PET/CT scan. Basically, they inject you with a irradiated sugar compound which cancer cells love to absorb and then an hour later they torture you by making you hold your hands above your head for a long time. The longer your torso, the longer you have to remain in that position. Lucky for me my torso "goes forever" in Jeanah's words.
We should know more about the PET scan on Tuesday as well.
God Bless!
