Dear Sue,
Saw the gyn-oncologist today. I love him! He said my biopsy shows "one step away from cancer" - but he thinks I don't have anything to worry about. Praise God for prompting me to ask for the ultrasound - it's not a common, yearly exam - just something my former gyn did. If I hadn't had the ultrasound, the condition would have eventually developed into cancer - 100% no doubt according to the doctor.
My pre-op will be May 19th and the surgery will be scheduled at that time - probably the first or second week in June. Will post on the board when I know for sure. I appreciate your kind thoughts! Prayer is powerful!
The dr's nurse suggested I talk with the GE and get her input about pre-surg vitamins, diet and the pain meds. Then, when I go back May 19th, I can give the info to her for the surgeon. Some of it's a moot point re the meds: I'm allergic to anything with codeine or anything related: no Vicodin, Percodan, Percocet, Demerol, etc. Have had reactions to all of them. Morphine may be all that's left. If the side effects are yucky, I'll just try to use as little as possible - hopefully with a PCA device - as long as the "edge" is taken off! Sounds like a plan - if I can just get in to see the GE! It was easier to get an appointment with the gyn-onco!
BTW, he was very empathetic about the hearing aids / glasses request - no problem! Again, PTL!
Thank you again for your concern and kindness!
Blessings,
Kaybee
