Been waiting for a call from my Hep's office regarding the outcome of my recent biopsy.

Since he indicated he felt there was progression, particularly in the right lobe I have been rather anxious as to how much worse it has gotten.

Called and emailed but got no answers, until just now....his nurse called to apologize. Seems my 'sample' was 'misplaced' and just recently found frozen in formalin and no longer a viable sample.

SO.....another biopsy. Needless to say I am very frustrated. Is it not enough that I have this disease, live with it's side effects every day of my life? That I have had to give up most of my life and many if not all my future plans? My retirement plan was to go back to school and complete my law degree. That won't happen because I won't retire. I fight constant pain and stress and now this!!

I do understand it is a mistake and humans make them consistently. I am just really sick of being 'bad luck Marg'. I just want to know how much more damage exists that prompted my Hep to tell me we no longer had 'years' before I would definetly need a transplant.

They are going to get back to me.....Dr Mason needs to decide how close together these biopsies should be as he is worried about the increased complications from having another one so soon.....

Darn-it!! (for lack of a stronger word!) I know your fear of the second biopsy and things went so smooth with it, now to face another one. Yes, human errors occur, stay positive Marg!!!
Journey well,

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I cannot, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Oh, dear, I'm so sorry that the everybody-makes-mistakes germ is forcing you to go through this yet again and force-feed you even more frustrations. I would transmit yogi prana to you if I knew how.
Sincerely, Mo

I am so sorry to hear you have to go through that again. I admire your strength of character in the face of professionals making that kind of error. It’s not like they misplaced a blood sample or a form you filled out. I would be so mad I can’t imagine handling it as gracefully as you- including the pirate yell! I hope they re-schedule you as soon as is safe and possible, and that this one will go as smoothly as the last for you. Best,

W

Marg. That is so frustrating. I used some really bad language when I read this.

I'll be praying you have a real easy time of it again.
