When finally speaking with the surgery side of the clinic, she said that they have not received the biopsy slides, which would have to be reviewed by their pathologists. It would be 2 -3 weeks before I could get an appointment to remove the rest of the cancer. YIKES! I'm sitting here with cancer at least another 2 - 3 weeks! I replied that I would try to have the local doctor do it then I made an appointment to have the general dermatology department check to look for any more cancer.
Sooooo, I phoned the local doctor who said it needed a specialist and she would not do it. Her office is checking to see if the slides have been sent to the university hospital or not. They will contact me sometime today. Now, with that information, I will have to start all over again to try to make an appointment for the damn cancer to be removed! No one seems to be in any big hurry!
I am going to shop for Mother's Day before the rehab class this morning. We are taking mom to a late lunch on Sunday to a wonderful French restaurant in Menlo Park (near Palo Alto). Today, I am buying the latest and final book written by one of her favorite authors Maeve Binchy who died just 10 days after submitting the final draft to her publisher. Since she loves her Tall Extra Hot Non-Fat Chai with Sprinkles at Starbucks, we will include a gift card and confirmation of the subscription renewal of the large print Reader's Digest in her Mother's Day card.
Last Sunday, we surprised Michael's mother, Mary by telling her that we are flying her and her sister Patty for a three day celebration on her 80th birthday in July. Mary cried. We are keeping all of our plans a secret but it will be guaranteed fun.
