Doctor's Visits

Today was supposed to be a morning only at the hospital, but turned out to be an all day event. I had two doctor's appointments, one at 9am and one at 11am. I didn't see the first doctor until after 10am and I didn't see the other doctor until after 1:30pm! So frustrating! It would have been nice if they would have told us when we checked in that they were running behind schedule so we could have gone and eaten lunch, but they didn't say a word, so we sat there from 11am until 1:30pm in the waiting room. Ughhhhh! We didn't leave MD Anderson until 2:30pm. Anyway, besides that, we got good news from my scans yesterday. Looks like there are no tumors left on my left lung. He removed one tumor, a calcification (not cancer) and two lymph nodes, which were also negative for cancer. Yeah! The two tumors on the right lung are stable, which means that they haven't grown any since my last chemo. Also good news. One tumor is 3cm and the other one is 2-3mm. The surgery should go exactly the same as last time. The recovery time is expected to be the same as well. It all depends on how fast I get the chest tubes out. I'm shooting for a discharge date of next Tuesday, so we'll see. Anyway, that's about all I have for today. Surgery time will be known on Thursday afternoon. Most likely first thing in the morning on Friday. That's all for now.
