Now for the bad news.
It turns out that the specialist who told hubby the mass on his pancreas was just a cyst was his urologist, who never even saw the MRI or ultra sound results - Yeah, I'm not sure how or why hubby asked his urologist about it, either. And, because hubby is really bad about checking messages on his phone, he missed several calls from the doctor who has looked at the test results.
Well, he had a scheduled appt this past Thursday and found out that the mass is actually cancer. He goes in early October for biopsy to find out if it's malignant or benign, then discussion will begin on how to treat.
I'm still trying to process. We've had a brief discussion on survival rates and the physical toll the treatment is likely to take but, until we know exactly what we're dealing with, I can only sit here and imagine the worst.
Anyway, I just wanted to let ya'll know that I may be a bit absent-minded for the next 6 weeks or so. I will try to get new images out every week - just don't have it in me right now - but ya'll feel free to post shares if you like.
love you all, susan
