Hi,

Is it possible to have a pathology report come back with two different

diagnoses. There is some question about the biopsy results so it was sent to

another lab.

Thanks - Bonnie

Hi Bonnie... I guess if 2 drs. can disagree and have 2 different dx with 2

different opinions on surgery or not, it could happen with anything!!!

And the purpose for Glenn getting the recent PET/CT Scan was to determine if

the clot in the portal vein is a blood clot or tumor...and it is not even

addressed!!! We just have to keep on asking questions to get things done. I'm

thinking they need to have whoever reads the Scan to look at it again....and

ADDRESS IT!!! Have appt with Onc. tomorrow...I have a list a mile long for

him!!! LOL

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

Caregiver to Glenn

Good luck with Onc tomorrow. Sure hope you get some questions answered.

I see mine on Tuesday. My primary called on Friday. Trying to get rid of

the oxygen equipment they gave to me when I was in hosp. last. They

told me over a month ago would take care of it (Lin Care), but never

did. So then wrote another letter and said I would not pay anything

until this was resolved. Had already told them I couldn't afford

it... Said they would do financial statement on me. Well that didn't

happen either.

So now primary says when I go in to see doc on Tues have to check my o2

levels and then walk around a bit to see how I am doing. That is

great... On chemo come down week I am always more short of breath than

other times. Well will have to do best I can. I don't use the o2 and

haven't since a week after I got out of hospital. Grrrr.

When I told gal on the phone that I didn't use it and hadn't used it she

said Well you do have COPD. I said so what, doesn't mean I need the o2..

Grrr. Like I am stupid or something...Well hopefully I will get it taken

care of okay and you will get all your questions answered. An by all

means enjoy the hell out of that 5th wheel..

Hugs Jolene
