MRIs (Plural)

Yesterday's MRIs ended up being at 9:40 p.m. both with and without contrast. So Philip (and Mikayla) ended up there for quite some time. However, they are done so when the oncologist schedules, she will have results. 

On that note, it's time I gave some credit where it's due. Philip has a girlfriend named Mikayla. She is an absolute Godsend. I used to work with her dad and was shocked when Philip told me who she is. They have known each other for some time (over a year). 

Mikayla used to work for a medical company and knows which offices in the valley have competent staff. She also calls ahead of time for his appointments to check that his test results were sent. Doesn't mean the staff won't change their story once we arrive. But it does mean she have a point of contact to go back to. So, shout out to Mikayla. Thank you for everything!

Update

The appointment with the urologist yesterday gave us some new information. The next steps include an MRI and consultation with an oncologist. Depending on when she can fit us in, it may be a couple of weeks before we know any more. So nothing is really going to be happening for a couple of weeks. I will update again when more info is available. Hugs.

Round 3

So here we are again. Philip has colon cancer. I will try to keep this blog up to date for those who want more than just a short answer over the phone. So far...

  • It does not look aggressive
  • It is in the very early stages
  • It is most definitely operable

He is trying to get an appointment with the surgeon to talk about when they'd like to do the surgery. It will most likely be in the next few weeks. We will be staying at home for the holidays due to this and LK's foot surgery. I'll post more information as I receive it myself. Hugs to all.
