Suspense...(cont'd)

Well, never a dull moment around here. The liver biopsy went off without a hitch last Friday. It was rather uneventful, if anything it was downright relaxing. After a valium induced nap I woke up to the doc saying "okay we're done, do you want to see the samples?" I said sure and he showed me a small vial with a clear fluid in it, and 3 "strings" of my liver. They looked like skinny worms. Hey, maybe that's my problem...I have worms!

Depending on whom you listen to, it will be either 3-5 days or 7-10 days until the results are back. This is a classic example of what you encounter when you deal with the medical community. Not everyone is on the same page. Thank goodness my wife plays traffic cop with a lot of this stuff.

Chemo is still on hold until we figure out what's up with my liver enzymes. You know, it's kind of refreshing that I don't have to do chemo, but at the same time it's very concerning because I know the cancer is in there slowly multiplying, slowly moving forward like a silent killer. I now fully understand the meaning behind the saying "Hope for the best and expect the worst".

Till next time, Brian...
