OK so I got a call this week from the PA of the Dr. who handles my radiation g saying they hadn't heard from the oncologist so he called and got the CT scan results and read them himself and everything looked good to him so when did I want to schedule the brain radiation ( that you can only have if there's no cancer detected).
I was confused and told him that the other oncologist had scheduled me for a PET scan because he wasn't sure that I was cancer free. The PA said that the radiologist read the results and he had read them and everything looked fine to them but if the Oncologist wanted a PET scan that was OK. He asked when it was and I told him and told him I had to wait over a week for the results and he said they could get them sooner because I'm having the test at the hospital where I have the radiation and he would have the radiologist call the other Dr and he could let me know what the results were sooner if I wanted him to. ( if I wanted him to???) These guys need to talk to each other !
So I'm now confused, am I OK or not OK? I certainly want to believe the radiologist who BTW worked at Sloan Kettering before he got here so he could "relax" a bit. I had pretty much decided that the results of the PET scan would be what they would be and once we found out what they were we'd decide what to do from there, the party isn't over we're just trying to figure out if it's a sit down dinner or a buffet. Either way I'm not going to let it ruin my grandson's first Christmas!
OK enough of my frustration, I guess they're both looking out for my best interest in their own way they just don't communicate with each other very well ( you'd think they would since they're both the only cancer specialists in this town). My GP who hasn't seen a test result tells me I'm going to be fine, maybe I should just listen to him I've been going to him for over 20 years he knows me better than the other 2 do.
Well it's time to go make some more presents, it keeps me busy and my mind occupied with things other than cancer...that's a good thing.
