Liver Doc Today

I saw the specialist today and I can honestly say that I don't know what I got out of it. I always seem to find these fools...don't I?!!?!

I know you won't be surprised to hear that he wants to do MORE BLOOD TESTS!! At this point I have 3 different lab tests to do on Monday. He wants to check to make sure there isn't a problem with the liver that isn't related to the chemo. How he can tell this, I don't know. The tests are numerous and all mean nothing to me just reading the names of them. One that my oncologist has ordered is a Hep C test. That would be a complete shock if I had that. He says that he doubts I do but we should be thorough and check. Aw heck! It's only another needle...what's the big deal :-)

The specialist would also like to do an ultrasound. I thought my ultrasound days were over. We aren't looking at a cute little baby but a liver! How sad :-( He mentioned maybe even a liver biopsy. Uh! NO! Been there, done that with the tumors...I'll pass...thank you very much! That is not real high on my "to do" list!!

So tests, tests and more tests...and then return in four weeks. I don't know about you, but I am done with all of this non-sense! Let's get this show on the road so I can be done already!! I return for chemo on Tuesday as long as I am feeling better. I feel like I will be okay by then. There was no mention of my white counts so I assume they weren't all that exciting...which is a good thing.

Delicious meals...we have eaten very well thanks to the Herrera and Feix families. Thank you from the very bottom of our happy tummies.
