Waiting

I had the biopsy this morning. Now I must wait a week to find out if the chemo is to go ahead, as planned. Or whether some other treatment is required.

If you want the full story, Lan and I returned to my room in the hospital at 06:45, a bit earlier than we were aiming for due to the lack of traffic. We were told the earliest anything that would happen would be 8am so to be there by 07:30. We watched a DVD I had brought then fell asleep.

The nurse came in at 08:45. She thought we had been there all night and that Lan has slept on the chair. She was ever so sorry for Lan. Anyway, they said they hoped the surgeon would be with me within the hour. It was in fact 10:15.

He took a couple of samples of the lump with a needle. He had difficulty getting much of a sample, which possibly suggests it is more likely to be a seminoma or from the skin cancer I had in 2001. So we checked out the hospital and I am back in the office tomorrow.
