Thanks, Lainy. I’m just glad he was “firm”. My first scheduling for the surgery was this past Monday…..probably would have been under the “knife” before the chief surgeon knew about it. Fortunately, (I rather believe “being watched over”), the surgery scheduling got changed to next week so that the chief had time to be back, see it, and cancel it. Teddy, if that was you, thanks.
Byron, much good luck tomorrow. I do like a Doctor who is confident enough to be so firm! To me that is a good sign. CC is definitely a roller coaster ride and NO one wants to buy a ticket! So, get on that Mustang, and go for it and let us know how you are doing. I will be thinking about you! Ok, so if you can’t geet on the Mustang make it a ‘rocking horse’, sorry couldn’t resist!
Tomorrow, Friday, I finally get started on some treatment. I will start with gem/cis, 2 weeks on 1 off for 2 months then re-evaluation. It has really been a roller-coaster ride the last 6 weeks because of the difficulty in diagnosing the case. There still is no solid diagnosis, but my surgeon and myself both believe it is CC. (Adenocarcinoma cells in pancreato/biliary lymph nodes), the pancreas shows all clear in all scans, liver lesion which showed hot on P.E.T. but all other scans showing no defined tumor. The ONC wanted to chat again with the surgeon before chemo, but the surgeon was out of country for 2 weeks. He finally chatted with the backup surgeon…..and they decided all of a sudden I needed a laparoscopic surgery to get more info and samples. I was scheduled for this until the head surgeon got back into town where he put a “nix” on that and now we are back to a round of chemo first.
So, here we go finally with something.
