Hope everyone is not too overwhelmed by our continued medical epistles. Preston is doing an amazing job keeping updates going!
Just a couple clarifications
1- check up at urologist was ultrasound vs xray, at first. My Dr tries always to go for least amount of radiation because of my history. It didn't show clear pict of what we needed to see, so I asked for xray. I got a personal phone call from my Dr late that night to tell me she was not happy with what the xray showed and that she was turning it over to my Dr and my oncology team. I saw my Dr and oncology dr that same week, which led to lots more labs and tests. During this time I was also having severe, very painful muscle spasms in my right thigh that had no apparent cause. All of that led to continued appts.
2 - My MRI on Tuesday is an abdominal test specifically looking at my liver. There were hot spots that showed up on the PETScan. My kidneys are "cold" like they should be. Stones are definitely still there, but are not a concern at this time. Drs are wanting an MRI so they can focus on a very specific area and so they can see exactly why the hot spots are showing up. All the results from MRI and biopsy will be ready for another appt next Wed to discuss a go forward plan. I am SO glad to have my oncology dr back. She will take good care of me, and I know whatever happens she will fight hard with us. She is a great dr and a great person, I am so thankful to have her on our side
