Now for the next step

Today I met with Dr. Don Michael for my followup on all the tests I have had done. Good news, is the mass in my breast is a cyst. I still have to see Dr. Hoehne to find out what to do with it. He said my cholesterol is a little high, and I have P.A.D. and Sleep Apnea. I see the surgeon on Thursday to talk about when Im going to have my surgery. Dr. Don Michael said that Dr. Cunneen is very particular about making sure all the pre testing is done. So I have a chest x-ray in the morning as well as an upper G.I. and then next week I meet with the nutritionist to have a nutritional evaluation, and then on the 24th, I get to have a psyc evaluation. Once that is done I will be done with all my pre testing.

Dr. Don Michael said that the surgeon will want to schedule me for surgery right away, and that with my insurance it shouldnt be a problem. So I get to wait again to see whats happening. Im getting very excited and nervous. I just want to get it taken care of.

Wow, that was a lot of information! Have fun with tomorrow.....the chest x-ray shouldn't be bad, but the upper GI???? Um, that just sounds a little scary. Too bad you have to wait until the 24th for the evaluation, but then it should go quick after that I'm guessing. Yeah! Love ya!

How rude still didn't even email me. The Upper GI isn't to bad its an X-Ray while drinking the barium drink. Which they will tell you it taste like a milkshake, THEY LIE. But you know me I can't drink anything so its not too bad. They do have another Upper GI that is and Endoscopy route, those are not as pleasant, but my brother had one and said it was not bad. If you have to have that one I can explain the procedure further. :)
