| Ugh . . . . . . . what next! |
2:00 p.m. received a phone call from the oncologist's assistant. They have received a response from John Hopkins Cancer Center... again, NO INFORMATION or firm diagnosis! Why? Due to the information/specimen provided. Remember, this is the biopsy of the mass on my renal artery that I had on 09/30. For whatever reason, it did not make it to John Hopkins Cancer Center for an opinion until 10/22. My oncologist, who is attempting to correct this mess (that was created somewhere else), is arranging for a new biopsy right away.
2:30 p.m. a second call from the oncologist's assistant, advising me that she was able to get a intervention radiologist within their medical building to put me on tomorrow's schedule.
310 p.m. third call from the intervention radiologist office.
Note: The interventional radiologist is a medical doctor who has completed four years of study in radiology. They treat a multiple of conditions inside the body from outside the body by inserting various small instruments or tools, such as catheters or wires, with the use of various x-ray and imaging techniques (i.e., CT scanners, MRI scanners, ultrasound scanners). Interventional radiology offers an alternative to the surgical treatment of many conditions and can eliminate the need for overnight hospitalization, in some cases.
Stay strong Mom. You have James and I with our families by your side. I will be handling the issues with the Kadlec Hospital,lab and doctors so don't you worry about that. Dr. Ness is taking charge and I am happy with that. He is not messing around. xo

Marie, I'm heartbroken by this news! It is so difficult to be told something like this!
ReplyDeleteThat said, I remember how strong you were the first time, and I know you will be strong again. Even so, you need God's strength and I pray that you will feel an overwhelming sense of His presence tomorrow! I thank Him for you and for the courage and faith you are demonstrating throughout this process!
Heavenly Father, we ask you for your hand to be upon Marie tomorrow. May she feel your Love and your presence as you comfort her and protect her.
Marie, I continue to mention your name in my prayers on a daily basis. You are being covered in prayer!
Love to you,
Lorraine
