bookmarm Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I agree...you need to tell the doctor about the flippant/rude treatment you got over the phone! I'm so sorry this all happened! Even if the news was better than originally anounced, I'm sure you'll feel much better after a new check over. Wow! What a scary call!

chesterfieldzoo Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I would definitely call one of the doctors and complain. There was absolutely no call for her to behave like that!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilight1000 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 What a horrible experience! I'm so glad you've gotten some good news now. I hope the May 19th procedure comes back with a clean bill of health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Oh Kathie sweetie what a shock this must have been, happy to hear that the situations seems to be somewhat clarified but still, no excuse for the nurse's way of acting, none whatsoever! Sending huuuge hugs for both you and Lloyd and the girls. Will be waiting along with you for the 19th of May, :groucho: now what can we do to keep our minds occupied in the meantime????? (((((((HUGS))))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks to all of your for your encouragement and support. Lloyd's procedure was this morning. Another polyp was found and removed, sent for biopsy. We'll call the doctor in a week or so, when we get back from California. We're both in a fog today from lack of sleep last night while following the dreaded prep regimine and general nerves. We napped this afternoon, but the day is pretty well shot. Lloyd is having some discomfort, which doesn't help. Will be glad to leave tomorrow for a week of visiting and festivities. Guess I better start thinking about what to pack!

ilovecats Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Wow. what a rollercoaster ride. Glad to hear it wasn't cancer. That is unacceptable, i would complain to the doctor. In defense of nurses, keep in mind that most doctors offices are now staffed with medical assistants. Not saying that is an excuse, but it can a difference. I've worked in several clinics/offices and you can tell who the nurse is and who the medical assistant is when it comes to explaining lab results. The unfortunate thing is that receptionists will say "let me have you talk to the nurse" when in actuality you're not talking to a real nurse, you're talking to an MA. The thing about that is you can't say you are a nurse if you aren't licensed. That is my little pet peeve. Sorry if i offend any MA's out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Kathi, enjoy your trip! We are all hoping and praying that this latest test will prove to be non-cancerous! Inflamed is one thing, but cancerous is a terrible state. At least you can breath easier now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Oh Kathie is he feeling better today? Have ben thinking of you both and keeping fingers crossed for a good result, not sure if I should say a "positive" or a "negative" result ... So hope for a quick result and a good one! Have a great trip now and enjoy the time away! HUGS to both of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I've been away for a couple of days and just now catching up .. I'm SO glad it wasn't cancerous, and had spread over all this time! Ralph had a couple of polyps removed too, when he had his colonoscopy..and also had some discomfort afterwards, so I appreciate what you're dealing with! I hope it all turns out well ...uh...in the end.. Sorry. Couldn't resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks for the good wishes. We won't know if it's cancerous until the biopsy comes back next week. We're not going to think about it for a week. He's feeling better today and thinks he can manage sitting on a plane for several hours tomorrow. I hope so. It's nonstop KC to San Diego, no rest stops!

Missymew Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Kathie - I've just seen this thread. I'm so sorry that you and Lloyd have had to go through all of this. I'm sending warm wishes and hugs. Please have a relaxing holiday, and I'll pray for more good news when you return. You'll be missed but I'm so glad you're getting away for a trip. Hugs -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
