A little update: Went to the new GP this morning......(thank goodness my sister, Barb, works there and was able to be in the room with me. She's a wealth of family history to include my own history....
) Anyways, he read all the stuff that the VA has done since my annual appt. in May...asked history questions which both Barb & I answered.....looked over test results....ordered more blood test (seems the VA never did on the thyroid and another recheck of my white count, which is how all this started..)
We told him all about the GYN and Kidney DR. and what is planned so far, I. e. surgery.....he ordered a thyroid uptake, and did a consult with a Hematologist to follow up and monitor the blood issue....PLUS....is going to do a "shaving' of a spot under my left eye that maybe pre-skin Cancer...
I really like him, too...easy to talk to....so, basically, I'm happy with all the Drs. so far....and am relieved that things are proceeding at a reasonable pace at this point....
Barb said she's hanging out with me at these appts. because she believes I am becoming "over whelmed " with all this...and when I think about it, I probably am....
I'm so lucky to have family right now....and of course my Ernie....he's taking things well at this point, but is getting "antzy" and wants everything done, like, yesterday or today....so say a little prayer for him to have patience....and those of you who have met him and know him, know how hard "having patience" is for him...
Except for blood tests in the morning, I'm free of drs. appts. until next Thursday....pre-op reg. at the hospital....
Thank you all for your prayers and healing thoughts....will keep you posted...
