I have just spent my entire Friday on the telephone. I have talked with the University of Michigan, Tom's Oncologist, and Primary Doctor. After talking with U of M they are on the same page with Tom's Oncologist that we need a CAT Scan to determine what it is that we are seeing on the Octreoscan. Tom is scheduled to have yet another CAT Scan on Friday, August 29. We will then follow up with the Oncologist on Thursday, September 4 as well as talking with the surgeons at the University of Michigan.
We will now spend the next two weeks playing the waiting game. Hoping and praying that this will be nothing more than a false positive scan. While Tom tries to stay positive I can tell these numerous doctor visits are wearing on him. When you work all week in a hospital, the last thing you want to do on your days off is spend it back at the hospital, not that he ever takes a day off. Last night I told the kids what was going on and they did not have too many questions. We all said a prayer for dad before drifting off to sleep.
