Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hi there... I am sorry you came home without any results...those types of doctor's appointments always disappoint me, and then it makes me think...why did he even want to see me if he has nothing new to add or convey?...I had one today like that also..except I thought the doctor was going to at least check the closure of my open wound... I drove the hour and a half to Knoxville, waited for my appointment, saw one of his residents who did look at my belly, then the surgeon came in, told me of the letter he was going to prepare for my cancer policy, and said to come back in August so he could feel for any sign of new tumours, and a CT scan next Feb...that took all of 10 minutes... And of course, when I come home, without knowing how or why, I am in great pain when I lay down or sit down or bend over...think it's the mesh in my abdomen poking into me..so I have to take percocet to stop that from hurting..If it persists tomorrow I will have to go see him again. I'd be asking for another opinion from Dr Sutherland in Minnesota aswell as Dr Cotton and the further letter to Dr s..it can't do any harm to get a 3rd opinion..at least then you could consider the majority. Take care, and I hope you can focus on something uplifting to take your mind off it just for tonight so you can free mind from the negatives ...a type of vacation for your mind...
