Thank you for asking. Yesterday after a week of constant phone calls from me I finally received a surgery date of Tuesday, October 11th in the afternoon for laparoscopic biopsy to determine the origin of the malignancy in the lymph node in liver area. I will be kept overnite and home on Wed. Then I also received a call yesterday from pre surgery that I had to go to Jax by 2:00 to have blood work,ekg, and chest X-ray so I drove the 90 minutes by myself to get that done. My blood work was all within normal limits, including the liver panel, go figure! The only low one was 18.2 for lymphphocites. Not sure what that means. But ekg and chest X-ray were normal. After surgery they will know where the malignancy in the liver lymph node is originating from.. the original breast cancer, lymphoma or liver( which seems doubtful).
This back and forth with this surgeons office has created so much anxiety and I just want answers. A nurse yesterday told me what a wonderful surgeon this is and that people come from all over the country to see him, although he marches to his own drum beat for communication. Obviously! I am trying to spend the weekend preparing mentally, physically and emotionally and dropping my frustration with how this all took so long. Many thanks for your concerns.
