Today I was so lucky to be slammed at work and not have to think about this a whole lot. I did make "follow up" calls to see if my surgery has been scheduled. I harrassed them until they scheduled it. My surgery is next Tuesday at noon. I have to be there at 10:00a.m. My surgeons name is Dr. Brennan and the Nurse Practicioner from Urology is Anastasia Shaver, who will also be present. Dr. Brennans assistant, Kerri, let me know that I need to have some blood work done before the operation. I went this afternoon and it's done.
I also started the ball rolling on getting a second opinion from the doctor that Kristy and Alicia told me about. My original doctor has sent all my labwork results, ultrasound reports, and charts to this Sutter doctor. I will be seeing him Thursday. I'm told it will be a couple days before I hear anything and I need to follow up. It will be nice to have a second opinion as well when treatment options become an issue next week after my tumor is sent to a Pathologist.
Today I got a call from my boss and her boss. They are so awesome. They told me to let them know if there is anything they could do. I could tell they meant it. They also excused me from going to LA this week so I can focus on this stuff here and make the appointment at Sutter. I love my job at Edward Don!
Finally for today........ Know that this is no battle. This is a minor speed bump that my family will hit at 90 mph and skip right over. Honestly I'm not that worried about it. If they would of found it a year from now, I would be really worried. Even then, the cure rate is really high.
Thank God I went in for that physical.
