Twiddling

I just now spoke with my oncologist on the phone and treatment has been postponed in lieu of another biopsy. Dr. Phillips is concerned about how “hot” the abdominal mass appeared on the PET/CT scan and in light of recent lymphoma studies wants to make sure that the mass isn’t a more aggressive form. New studies have concluded that both indolent and aggressive forms can attack simultaneously. So, for now I have a surgery consultation for a laparoscopic biopsy of the mass [they will also send a camera crew in to photograph it as well] on the 29th [that’s just the consult]. I have asked that they try to speed it up and she said she would do what she could. So here I sit once again, twiddling my thumbs.
