Results of my ultrasound at the beginning of May are a bit unsettling. A 2.5cm mass on the ultrasound is too close to the carotid artery to be biopsied. Therefore I will have a CAT scan sometime in the next few weeks. Both oncologists and my surgeon have examined me and agree there is no sign of enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, but all agree it needs investigation.
It was somewhat worrying when I returned from a week away to three calls from my GP telling me to check with the oncologist. Then not to get a response from the cancer centre for over a week!
The last week of May will now be doctor/hospital visits almost daily, when I am scheduled to see my GP, my oncologist, more tests, and get my port removed if all is well.
Thursday we plan to take the new RV to Banff for the first Banff Centre summer festival programs. Jazz concerts Thursday to Sunday. A fitting place for my birthday Friday and dinner at the lovely Ravens restaurant there.
Now if only it would stop raining! We are deluged. Calgary and areas south of here are preparing for floods on the two rivers running through town, the Bow and the Elbow. High River ahs been aptly named. It should ease off later this week and hopefully the sun will come out for our camping plans.
