Adele slept in this morning, knowing today was biopsy day. We left for the Lanc Gen Hospital around 1:20 and arrived on time for her appointment. They took her back about 1/2 an hour later.
I read and waited for them to finish. Then the nurse came up and got me, and was a bit distracted when I asked how it went. It seems Adele was not to use aspirin, and had 2 on Wednesday, and bled quite a bit. The doctor was not even going to do the biopsy once he found out she had aspirin. He went ahead and stopped after he got some small samples. He did not like working with ultra sound, while she bled from the pin prick of a needle they used. He used the small needle, instead of the normal needle.
Now, if they got enough tissue, we are done with the biopsy. If not, ?surgery? might be the way to do it. The biggest problem, is the nurse practitioner told us the sample would be ready on next Monday. The doctor told her it will take a week. The same nurse practitioner did not say anything about aspirin or other drugs to avoid before the biopsy. Isn't it great when you get good news that things will go fast, and then get pulled down by the real doctor when he corrects the expectations. Adele was not happy after the biopsy!
Of course, because she was a bleeder, she had to go to the MOPU are and was monitored by a nurse for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. We left the house at 1:20 and got back around 6 PM. Long day for her, and many disappointments. I was then hit by her feelings and got depressed myself.
Today will be better! Adele is planning a shopping trip, with me saying, you go girl! Spend, spend, spend and get what you need, stop denying yourself.
Peace until the next step starts - Thanks to the Lord for everything He has done for us!
