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
