Thank you, I like the idea of writing my questions down. After dealing with the kidney mass, them we have to take a look at the liver masses next and the dilated common bile duct all the way thru the pancreas. Scary stuff.

It IS scary. But information is your friend and gathering it is a priority. I know how intimidating it is to sit in front of a doctor whose time is valuable and ask them questions. BUT, I also know that it is their JOB to answer those questions. I have learned to ask for an extra 15 minutes when I make my appointments. I’ve been SO lucky to have doctors who take time to answer all of my questions. I think they appreciate that I have my questions written down so it usually goes quickly. I also write down their answers. This has made my “journey” less confusing and I feel like I am being proactive in my care plan. I am going to need this care and treatment for the rest of my life, so I NEED to know exactly what’s going on. I hope your consultation is soon. You can message me directly if you want to.
