today. Please.
My friend, Kim, is going to see the doctor today. She had a radical hysterectomy done last week, lost her cervix, uterus and a good chunk of her vaginal wall but she's still got her ovaries! There was a tumor (thank goodness benign) on a lymph node close to the cervix so they took that, and sent a couple of others off to pathology to be tested.
Yesterday the doctor called her and said "results are back, I want to see you tomorrow". Now that could be because he's going on vacation next week and doesn't want to wait until her post op appointment. Or it could be that he's so happy he can't wait to give her the news. Or it could be bad news. She's only been home since Tuesday, and is still feeling like a truck hit her, so an almost hour car ride isn't going to be fun.
Eeesh. I'm sending out a message to herself.

oh man....thats sad......let hope theres good news.........
Like you said, "that bastard." Sorry to hear that she's got to be stressed out until she sees him today (?).

send me a text when you know
damn.
Why can't the goddamned medical people just tell you some details over the phone so that the wait does not kill you! I hope that she is ok!!
I'm keeping your friend in my prayers. Let us know. Hugs, SMB
sigh....
Well, it wasn't good news. There's still cancer there, so they're giving her a few weeks to recuperate and then around Christmas starting chemo and radiation. It's still not a lot of it - so that's the good part. And for Christmas and in honor of her, we're all going to dye our hair red and green. :)
Otin - if it's good news, often they'll give it to you over the phone. If it's bad - never. They don't know where you are, who you're with - nothing like that.
Thanks for worrying with me.
