I just had an Endoscopy Tuesday morning, looking for Varices since my platelets went down to 40,000,found none. No ulcers either or apparently any other problems in that area. So I'm really happy about that. So the GI is sending me to a hematologist, he told me planned to. So he sends me to have another US, but this one is just of the Liver plus the blood test he has sent me for is just for AFP, He wants me to have these done before I go to the hematologist, and it's obvious it's a cancer screen, which is probably routine with this situation. So why does it have me really scarred? Plus even if I can get in for it today or tomorrow I'll still have to wait the weekend for the results. I hate waiting for results. OK I think I'm done now. OK I wasn't done. I got the order for the blood test and US yesterday afternoon about 4 pm. The GI's nurse emailed it. So I call radiology scheduling and the lady tells me she can't schedule it until she talks to the doctor, she wants to be sure it's just for the Liver and not the whole abdomen. I tell her the order says "Utra sond of the Liver" (yes the doc. misspelled sound, and just when I was really gaining a bit of confidence in him). But she still needs to talk with him. Oh Well I'm just going to go after Bible study the hospital is only 10 minutes away so I just go in and hope they have a cancellation today. I"ve done it before, so I don't know why I let it bother me. Peace and Joy Paul |
