My Husband and I had a very watchful hand over us while we were in the big city. We were able to get everything finished and still have time to see friends. That to me is a very successful week. First we had Hubby’s test and that I went over the other day. Than we had his Dr. appointments to read them and look at them yesterday. What a day. Both of the Dr.’s were elated to see his results. And even more …. we cried a sigh of relief. There is the question as to why is He not getting more energy faster. “You will have to work for it.” They say. He has been.. But he is just not getting there like he should. So they are checking his Thyroid right now… than we will know what to do. But he was CLEAR……….. ALL CLEAR……. even his Liver, which was a small concern, was clear. There is NO evidence of cancer. My husband told me…. “I wish I was as happy about this as everyone else. I am not sure what to think. I am happy that there will be no more chemo… But I am worried all at the same time.” Hard to balance all those emotions.
His next scan is in April. The 18th and 19th. His diagnosis aniversery. Now after we did his stuff. We met up with his GPC boss for lunch. We had some time to talk and see what there is available. And we think it will be time to move on with Hubby when all is said and done. This is said and yet exciting all at the same time.
Than we went to meet my new Dr. He has a beautiful French name and is quite a looker too. LoL. He was in surgery when we got there. So it took a while for him to get to us. BUT he walked into us … opened the door so we would not be so cramped… told us he would be right back. And to our amazement … he was. Than he sat with us and talked about all I had been told about my Kidneys and what they wanted to do to me at the OTHER place. He explained that they in this institution don’t do the surgery that was being recommended to me anymore. Because it has been known to rip the ureter off of the Kidney. Than you have a perfectly good Kidney that has been ruined by a surgeons hands. Than to add insult to injury we talked about the vegan diet. And why they put me on it. Well he said that it would lower the levels. But that he wouldn’t have jumped so quick to make the decision. There are a lot more reasons that my kidney could be hurting and there are a lot more reasons that the levels could be so high. There are pills to dissolve to gout in the kidney which he noticed I was not on. SOOOOOO there are a lot more options than what I was given in the beginning.
So we are going ahead with a surgery he suggested. And he is overtaking my care. Hubby and I both felt blessed with the way that I was treated and that he was right there to answer everything. So On the 23rd I have pre op. On the 24th I have the surgery and on the 25th I will get to come home. They will be knocking em out and doing it right. Let us hope this will be the last time. So prayers were answered here in every way. I hope you were all blessed today like we have been. D.Fly out!
