Ok, so I got a call from the doctor this morning and the preliminary results from the pathology re-review came back and there are still some uncertainties so they re getting more of the tissue to run different tests and calling in another specialist to get his opinion. They say its peculiar because one test says something & then another hints at something different.
They have what are called "markers" or "flags" that they look at when they test the tissue samples, and some say intermediate grade lymphoma while others say its the more rare "Burkitts" lymphoma. They of course cannot start any treatment until they are one hundred percent positive of what I have.
They hope to know something for sure by tomorrow. So we will see on that what happens and if I hear anything back tomorrow.
I went and had an EKG and Echocardiogram today. Just checking out the general health of my heart and to see how strong it is cause the chemo can effect it and give you problems if your not in good shape to begin with.
Im still waiting to hear about the portacath being installed in my chest. Thats prpobably the scariest things to me, that they are going to install a device into my chest and attach it to my organs and heart. They use it to withdraw blood and its where they can administer the chemo drectly into my heart and organs , they can bypass using my arms and not have to damage the tissue or veins.
So I guess thats all 4 now. I will try to update on here as soon as I know anything more. As always thanks for caring enough to read this and I hope to have some more positive and concrete news soon!
GOD Bless,
