Bronchoscopy results and a question
Hi everyone, Just wanted to tell you the lung doctor called me at 7:30 last night to tell me the bronchoscopy showed no malignancy---good news, and what I expected. But she said she feels she needs to do another kind of needle biopsy of the lung, and I am wondering why. She said it was just a precaution, to make absolutely sure there is nothing there. I am inclined not to do it, even though I am very impressed by this doctor. I think I will discuss it with my new oncologist. As I said before, we have been extremely impressed with the quality of doctors and hospitals here in St. George, Utah. They all seem so thorough and so caring, taking extra time and explaining everything. Have any of you had the broncoscopy and then another biopsy too?
We are leaving Saturday morning to drive to Texas to see our 31 year old granddaughter who is dying of acute renal failure. She has been on daily dialysis for nearly 10 years and it is no longer working. Please pray for her---her name is Jennifer. She is the little granddaughter who gently chastised me when I was first diagnosed with BC over 20 years ago. I didn't want the children and grandchildren to know, but Jennifer and her cousin came to me and said "Grandma, how can we take care of you and pray for you if you don't want us to know you need us?" Now she is the one so very ill, and my heart aches for her. It seems sad to me that I am still alive after 3 bouts with cancer and severe heart problems and Jennifer is the one dying. Jenn's mom, our daughter Sherrill, is also not well. We feel we just have to spend some time with them.Then on the way back we will stop in Arizona to attend the wedding of another granddaughter. It will be an emotional trip! I will touch base here when we get back, but be thinking and praying for all of you. Hugs, Tricia
