February 10 . . . A Major Frustration

Yesterday's jubilation was short-lived. I received a call from Dr. Edge today. My medical team at Roswell conferred last night and collectively decided that more testing is warranted before surgery. The "radial scars" (term for the other growths under investigation) can be problematic. The new dates for testing and surgery are unknown. This is not likely to change the outcome, but may alter the nature of the surgery and treatment, and will certainly alter the date on which I can resume life as I knew it before December.

And so I find myself in limbo again - ready, no, desperately wanting to proceed, but deferring to the insight and judgement of the experts in whose hands I place my body. If patience is a virtue, I am less virtuous today.

And so I will place my life on hold for an indeterminate time. I will keep you posted as I learn more.
