Still waiting

We have played the waiting game with doctors before but for the most part I have found that when things are serious they get done quickly. It's almost scary when the doctors want to do things quickly. When Jeff was in the hospital one of his nurses once said "the only time you need to worry is if you see nurses running." This is also true with doctors. If you see doctors rushing to get things done, it's time to worry. I'm not sure that offers much comfort for Jeff while he sits here waiting for some answers. I got a phone call the other day and because the results to all of Jeff's tests would not be in, the doctors are now going to review Jeff's case on the 3rd of July instead of the 26th of June like we hoped. Jeff did have an appointment with his surgeon who basically could answer none of our questions. He informed us that the tumour, where it sits now, is no longer operable and another surgery is not in the future for Jeff. His official answer to most of our other questions was, "that is something you will have to talk with the oncologist about." This left Jeff frustrated since we have been having a hard time getting an appointment with them. The resident working with the surgeon did however take a look at the MRI images of Jeff's back. She only did a brief overview but mentioned that she could not see any significant lesions. Meaning it doesn't look like the cancer has spread to his back or spine. We still have to wait for the official report and the oncologist but hopefully she was correct in her findings and the good news continues.

 Jeff has decided that if the doctors give him treatment options, he would like to be treated in Edmonton. This may mean more waiting for his files to be transferred and the doctors in Edmonton to get their ducks in a row. Although I do think that might be the easiest option for us. 

Jeff continues to be tired (extremely tired) and is dealing with a broken toe along with a weak right leg. He is super anxious to get something started and is ready to start fighting.
