March 29, 2011 Update

Well, we are still digesting this information:

Dad was scheduled to return to the surgeon who did the biopsy last week. That appt was for 2PM followed by a visit to Dr. M. at 3:20. Dr. M’s office called and said they cancelled the appt because the results didn’t show anything. As the kids might say, “WTF!?!”

Dr. Kay, the surgeon said the results did not indicate anything and that Dr. M would likely request another biopsy probably from under the left arm. If you listened to the audio with Dr. M. we asked where the first biopsy would be and he said he would leave that up to the surgeon. When pressed, he said that was the best way to go. Now, Tom and I remember him spending a lot of time under Dad’s left arm and wondered why he didn’t just go there first.

Dad says he’s done for awhile. It’s hard to blame him. Each part of this journey we’ve (or the Dr.) said, “Just this test and we’ll know exactly what’s up and be able to fix it.” And the results have always been another test. The inactivity from having the tests performed has probably affected his health more than whatever is going on. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but I don’t think we really know.

For now we believe he is going to take a break from the doctors. Tom asked him if he wanted to schedule an appt with Dr. Nichols and he declined. Nedra will be back on April 1 and we think that may really perk him up.

Love you,

John
