Today was a little better than yesterday. 1 - I got to see my bug-a-boo (grandson) last night. 2 - I got to see Dr. L today (one of my all time favorites) 3 - my sister took time off from work to take me to see Dr. L. (Awwww...she is such a terrific sis)
Dr. L and his great nurse K were fantastic. I got a big hug and gave a big hug to both of them when we saw each other. After an exam, Dr. L said I could get dressed and then we would talk when we all had clothes on. He did suggest that he could take his pants off but HE would get cold. :O) So, I did what I was suppose to do and then we talked. Dr. L told me about the CT findings. They showed that there are 2 masses about 5cm in size. (Which is between the size of a quarter and a clementine.) One is in my pelvic area sitting on or near the main artery that would go down my left leg. I think it is an Iliac artery. The 2nd is near or laying on the muscle that lays over the liver. The CT results could not tell if the masses are dead cells, scar tissue or that d@#m cancer is back. Then Dr. L tells me in so many words he does not feel confidant to do the surgery (biopsey/removal), esp the one near the artery, so he suggested a new/different doctor. Yeh! Especially since the Oncologist I have now wasn't concerned about the pain I was having and didn't do anything about it. What? With my recent history, I expected something. Nope, I didn't get it, so I moved on. I am so glad that I did AND went to see my regular doc. Yeh me!!
I asked Dr. L how urgent this is and he said not to put it off. I said I wouldn't, (duh!) but was wondering IF I can go on a road trip for about 10 days or less. "Yes, go on your road trip" he said. I am now waiting to hear from the new doctor and what he has to say. I hope I can get in to see him tomorrow.
On the happy front. Our suitcases are packed, most of the bins/items are ready in piles that we are taking and I am almost have the 2 bags packed of items to put near us for things to do (read, write, take pictures with and more). The bins are items to take to our son and daughter-in-law out of state. We are going to take some of his belongings to him, help them move and hopefully see the new grandbaby be born. I can not wait to get on the road, even though JP and I will be in the car a looooonnnngggg time.
Happy Tuesday everyone - hope yours was a great one!
p.s. The pic is of me with home-made cheese soup. Yum!
