A Sandi Update

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.
