The minutes leading up to my appointment was nerve wracking. I was sitting in a dental chair and I could here the residents talking about my case. Resident lady explained to the chief resident the history, the biopsy, CT scan and MRI results. They were talking right outside the room I was at! I told Mark, he listened, and the discussion was very technical. I covered my ears and did not want to hear it. My heart was pounding.
Resident lady finally came and asked how I was. I said well, it all depends on what she would tell us. She gave me a weird look and said "well the thing is Dr. C2 is not here today". I was like "what?!?!" Resident lady made a mistake of booking me on a day Dr. C2 was away. Great. However, she did tell us the results of the CT scan and MRI, there was no "involvement" in the bones or any part of my head/neck. In english, it did not affect my bones. I took a deep breath and gave a big sigh of relief! Whew!!!! I was so relieved that tears started, but they were tears of joy!!!! It was like a big weight was lifted off my chest.
Resident lady said I had the best tests there is in the country that would help the medical team decide what surgery to do. And the results show it was negative. She did point out that it could still be totally different when they do the surgery. After they remove the tumor they have to do more tests to check any margin exists. But based from the two tests, it looks like it will be ok.
The chief resident decided not to see me because he thinks that it is best that Dr. C2 meet with us and discuss the surgery the way the specialist plans to do it, rather than the chief resident giving us the wrong information. Makes sense. That will be another three weeks before we meet Dr. C2. That's alright because for now I am doing the happy dance and suddenly my world looks brighter again.
Thank you God for your generosity and in answering my/our prayers. God is great! :)
