Yesterday
was a very long day at the hospital and by the time we got home midafternoon I
was not doing at all well. So, this update is much later than I had intended
but it couldn’t be helped.
Apparently
insurance would not pay for a biopsy of her thyroid without Sandi having another
ultrasound first in a separate procedure. So, the surgeon was canceled and this
was a straight ultrasound of her thyroid.
Unfortunately, the ultrasound shows significant growth and activity
since the last one in February. That wasn’t supposed to be happening. It also apparently
shows definite abnormalities. What those abnormalities are, quite possibly a
new form of cancer, we don’t know and he does not want to speculate at all. The doctor wants a biopsy done and wants it
done as soon as possible.
The
afternoon saw Sandi meeting with the skin cancer doctor. The places on her face
are not thought to be anything and may or may not fade away. The mole on her
knee is most likely a melanoma of some type. He removed it and is sending it
for testing.
At
this point we have not heard from the cardiology folks about scheduling her
echo cardiogram. Once we hear when the hospital wants to do the thyroid biopsy
we will get that scheduled.
So,
at this point, we don’t know much of anything but most of what we do know does
not sound good. She remains positive that everything is fine and in good spirits.
It
is FOOD BANK Saturday for us as we got to reschedule after the power failure a week
ago. We will do that and then go from there.

Sometimes all we can do is to keep on keeping on. Hang in there.
Yep and you too, Bill.
Praying still Kevin. Thanks for the update. Happy to hear Sandi is still in good spirits.
