Thanks, Debbie.

Have some good news to share...

Didn't receive anything from the hospital for about 10 days (was told it would take five days to get the result and there was a President's Day long weekend in between), so I sent a message to my breast cancer oncologist. (The biopsy was ordered by the GI surgeon after my oncologist had sent me to her for a consult following the ultrasound and CT ordered by the nurse practitioner at the branch clinic near FIL's house). Below is the reply from the oncology nurse (I did make an appointment with the GI surgeon and will see her on the 29th. "An appendectomy and biopsy of the swollen lymph nodes near by will give us a definitive answer to the appendix problem," according to her during our last visit. Has anyone ever hoped/preferred to be diagnosed with an appendicitis?

Hi , Dear
Dr S. said to tell you the biopsy is OK, there is no cancer in your liver. No need for chemo.
It would be a good idea to call or send a message to your surgeon and see about the appendix.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, C.

Hi,

Have you heard anything from my liver biopsy that was done on the 12th? I am pretty sure I have appendicitis and breast cancer metastasis to the liver. Wondered if I needed to take the appendix off before chemo or wait till after the treatment.

Thanks for taking your time to read this. See you on March 4th.
