Seeing my pc this week and expect she will schedule scans (chest, with and without contrast; abdomen with and without contrast to focus on liver). I have had the labs for liver. These are at the request of the ocular oncologist and I've now decided to consult with oncologist who specializes in follow up for ocular oncology, as well. He wants specific and rather more detailed tests that detect mets. Would appreciate some prayers as these scans are done.....my appointment with him (Sato at Univ. of Pennsylvania) isn't until May 1, but I'm hoping I can know how the tests are from my pc who is ordering them. Sato's office did say that if there is a problem, they will see me sooner. See the retinal specialist Jan 30 and the ocular oncologist who did the surgery in early April. Still no results from Univ. of Penn. on the genetic testing. It's like a wild roller coaster ride....sometimes I'm doing ok and sometimes I'm a mess! I know that if anyone understands the emotional part of this journey, you dear ladies do!
