Surgeon Appt

We met with the surgeon today.  She will be inserting the port on Monday.  It is an outpatient procedure and mom should be home later that day.  I really liked her.  She specializes in breast surgery.  She explained things very well and took the time to listen.  Everyone so far has been super caring.
Mom is scheduled for the liver biopsy on Friday.  Also an outpatient procedure.  She needs to lay flat for 2-4 hours after the procedure.  Dad said that he plans to go to the library to get audio books to listen to in the hospital waiting rooms.  I guess the audio book idea wasn't so bad afterall.  The real question will be how much of the book will he miss because I know that he will dose off at some point.
We should have all of the results from all of the tests when we see Mr. Margolis on Thursday next week.

First Oncology Appt

Met with the Oncologist today - Dr. Margolis.  He seems like a very positive person and we walked out of there with some hope today.  Our next appointment is Thursday next week.  We should have a treatment plan by then.  Ideally, if everything gets done, mom will get her first chemo treatment at that appointment.  In the mean time, mom is having the following done in the next 10 days:  1)  MRI of her brain  2)  Echo of her heart  3)  Have a port inserted  4)  Have a biopsy on her liver mass.
The meeting with the surgeon is scheduled for tomorrow.  Will find out date for the port at that time.  Don't know when liver biopsy will be yet.  Should know that tomorrow.
A bit frustrated as we didn't get all of the records from Florida.  Working on that too.

Back in Michigan

Mom and the girls safely arrived back from Florida yesterday afternoon.  Their plane ride was much shorter than our drive.  Dad and I arrived home this afternoon.  The trip was long, but mostly uneventful.  We passed the time with an audio book.  It was good that we have the same taste in books.  Mom and Dad are spending the night at our house tonight.  Andy, mom and the girls went to Waterford this afternoon to turn on their furnace and plug in the fridge.  We are going to unload the car and get them settled back at home tomorrow.
