October 22, 2012

October 22, 2012, is a Monday, time 3:30 p.m., I will meet with the surgeon.  I hope I will be able to get some answers to the thyroid problem.

I have so many questions about what will happen next.  I am sure a biopsy will be done.  I have a greater chance that it will be benign then cancer.  I still know, from what I have read, that the mass will need to be removed and along with it part of the thyroid.   Just how much will be determined once the thyroid is exposed.

These are all things that I have read and partly been told by the Endocrinologist.  I also was told that this surgeon, Dr. Stanley Wilson, is conservative in his approach in regards to surgery.

Is this on my mind?  You betcha! Are we talking about it much?  Not really as there are so many unknowns.

Dad/Sam has other things to concentrate on right now.  He has a bid at the end of October.  He is flying to California, today, October 15.  He will be there until Saturday and fly back to South Carolina, to be here for the appointment on October 22.  Whatever is decided at the appointment, will determine whether he fly's back to California.  Right now, he has a flight back the next day, October 23.

I have a lot of people praying for me and for good results.  I know I will deal with whatever the outcome, as I am strong and have handled major problems in the past.

"It is what it is".  Can't change things so I just have to deal with it.  It is still scary about the unknown!  I am one that needs to know exactly what will happen, so I can organize it in my mind, research and learn more, have things in place.  I still will get nervous and anxious, but I will know more.

Now to wait until Monday
