My dad has been referred to St. Luke's Hospital in Houston for a biopsy of the cyst on his pancreas. His gastroenterologist is referring him to St. Luke's because they have a machine that can do the biopsy with a scope inserted through the stomach and no surgery is done unless it is absolutely necessary.
He has been put on the "walk-in" list which means he is not an emergency and they will call him when they have an opening. We thought that was probably a good sign since they aren't treating the cyst as urgent.
That is a very good sign if he is a walk in patient. I have Uncle Red in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Bio to your Dad Laurie.
ReplyDeleteSusan - I heard your dad took a fall. I hope he's okay.
ReplyDeletePeter - Thanks. I'll tell him you wish him well. He'll like the fact that he got well wishes from Australia.
I guess you can breathe a sigh of relief. Please let your father know there are bloggers out there pulling for him.
ReplyDeleteDave - Thanks, I will.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your dad!
ReplyDeleteThe walk-in and non emergency sounds like a good sign to me too.
nikln-never include kisses like nosebleeds
