We found out today the biopsy results are in, but apparently only the doctor can discuss what they mean with us. Audrey went to Kirklin Clinic and got a copy of them and is still trying to make sense of them. She's a nurse, not a doctor, and they are apparently very complex and hard to understand. I think I'm being more laid back about it than I would if were Audrey another family member awaiting test results. When my primary care physician looked at the place on my neck and said it was probably a swollen gland and to come back if it didn't go down in three weeks, I should've said "No way, who can I see about this." But as the saying goes, hindsight is 20-20.
The doctor is out until Monday so we have an appointment for Monday morning so he can go over the results and tell us what needs to happen next. I have several friends who have had cancer, and some have it still. Has anyone ever heard of having to wait nearly two weeks after surgery to get biopsy results?
I think I'll read for a while before going to bed. As Groucho Marx said, "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
