It sounds like a very good prognosis and this must give you cause for celebration and hope. Still, this whole process is a challenge. I send you healing thoughts.

Thanks everyone! XUP, thanks for forwarding that letter from the Ministry of Health (and thanks also for writing to them in the first place). After I meet with the neurosurgeon on the 30th, I’ll have a better idea of his wait times and whether I can wait as long as he says I have to wait. If it’s unreasonable, I’m going to do what the letter suggested – get my doctor to start looking for out-of-town facilities that are better positioned to get the job done in a timely fashion.

But as for the breast surgery, I’m pretty confident that Dr. Arnaout will find – and exploit – a tiny hole in the OR schedule for me. She’s good that way. I just have to be nimble and ready to roll into surgery at a moment’s notice

Glad for more good news than bad news, and that the bad news was relatively small in comparison! You’re in my thoughts every day! *big hugs*

I’m glad the result was as good as it is. The way you write about it gives a lot of clarity.

Zoom,

I am so glad that you did not get a really bad result. I admire you for your courage and ability to accept this report. I am sorry that you will have to have some more surgery, but I am sure that everything will be very positive from now on. Zoom, I really hope that you can get some relief from your back, and that you will soon be able to walk again. I will keep you in my prayers. GC you are such a good man to be so supportive of Zoom.

Lots of good news. Too bad about the long wait. I sent you that letter from the Minister of Health, right? He suggests your doctor get on the phone and try hopitals in other cities — that was for the back thing, but maybe she could ask about both??

This is really good news! “My” lump was a 9 out of 9 and I don’t recommend the chemo! A tumor rated 1 means it has been sitting there, growing ever so slowly for ages. You already know the surgery is a snap so I think you are practically home free! Now you can concentrate on getting back surgery a.s.a.p.

I am so pleased for you! I know, I am weird that way.
