111. Chemo Biopsy Results

The results are in.  Last week's biopsy (performed by a radiologist with the help of ultrasound equipment here in Regina, no problem) confirms that the growth in my liver close to arteries and bile ducts is indeed cancerous.  My oncologist is referring me back to Saskatoon to the same radiologist who, at the beginning of summer, could not find this growth. (see posts nr 87 and nr 104)   I do not have a lot of confidence in this man, because he and the accompanying ultrasound technician were bickering in front of me about what was left and right on the image.  Also that radiologist told me that the tumor would have to grow again before he could do the Nanoknife procedure.  (It is Nanoknife and not ablation, I was mistaken!)  And that after I had just undergone 12 chemo treatments to shrink it down!  He also told me that I could always go on palliative care.  What kind of response and nonsense is that?  I have asked my oncologist to start looking for an alternative person.   I haven't heard anything back yet.  I may have to go out of province which I am most willing to do, if she finds a professional with a good track record.  I hope your day is going well.  Stay tuned.  Stay well!  SanTeh!

Back in a couple of days when I have found out what will happen next.
