Re: Hubby needs prayers now

Three full days since they found hubby's tumor & no Pathology results yet!! Not knowing is terrible!!

We spoke to 2 oncologists. First one came on our request since we hadn't heard anything yet & said meeting was premature since Pathology wasn't back & he's only called in if cancer is determined & then inoperable.

He mentioned hubby needing a higher resilution chest xray, 'cuz when they did Cat Scan they saw something & he had a chest xray.

A 2nd. Oncologist visited us & said Pathology isn't back (so I think it's strange that she visited, given what the 1st. Oncologist said about them being "last" person called in).

She mentioned tumor being "Inoperable" & talked about chemo to melt tumor & maybe if it shrunk it could be operated on.

Then she asked if Thorastic Dr (or Surgeon - I forget) told us about hubby's "ANUERISM"!!

We told her this is the first we heard of this & were waiting for a Cardiologist to see hubby about "Aortic Dissection".
I think she said Thorastic & Cardiologist both deal with "Heart Disease/Issues" (hard remembering all that's going on right now)!

She mentioned the term being "Aortic Dissection Anuerism"...........

Weirdest thing is, this afternoon part of the Urology team made it sound like after Cathetre was removed that Hubby could go home Sunday 2/11.

I'm calling hospital social worker & tell her we're either getting NO information or Conflicting information.

Thurs. after 1st. scope surgery when they found tumor in Bladder they talked about operating to remove it & now Oncologist (who's supposed to be last step) told us tumor is "Inoperable"!?!?!?!? I'm wondering if they're afraid to operate 'cuz of the Anuerism, that Thurs. nights Urologist who performed surgery did not know about??
