First day at Mayo

We started out today with a 9:30 visit with a general internal medicine doctor named Dr. Ghosh. She was very nice. We talked a lot about my medical history in general and my cancer treatment specifically. She agreed with our surgery desires and started trying to set up appointments,   First for a mammogram, and then with the surgeon and plastic surgeon.  I got an appointment for a mammogram at 2:00 today. Then both Dr. Ghosh and her scheduler were amazed that they managed to get both surgeons scheduled for tomorrow. I had to laugh a little because of course it was not surprising to have things fall in place.  Too many of you are praying!

I went for my mammogram at two and ended up with a bit of a surprise.  The short version is that there might be some cancer in my left breast. The radiologist can't be sure until he compares the mammogram and ultrasound to ones I had done last May, and then does a biopsy.  Of course, having my surgery will take care of it, but if it is cancer,  there will probably have to be additional treatment. How about we all pray it isn't cancer?!

So, that sums up day one.  Keep praying and I'll keep you posted!

  1. Heavenly Father, Let this Friday the 13th be a very special day for Robin and all who love her. Give her clarity in asking all her questions and give the doctors wisdom in all their answers. Again, we praise You for being the Great Physician in charge and the One who knows her every need because You formed her just the way You wanted in her mother's womb years ago. Thank You for the recent uplifts she has experienced and her uncanny ability to share with us so that we are right there with her. We know You have already blessed her with every spiritual blessing and we just ask that she is very aware of Your presence and Your peace. In Jesus' Most Precious Name, Amen.
