They could not do the needle biopsy because Gary coughed too much for them to try. They said that it was too dangerous because they could of hit something that they shouldn't. They did however get a look at the mass and the doctor said that it does not look like cancer. He said it looked benign. He said he has seen a lot of things like this and he is confident that it is benign. He wants Gary back in 2 months to have another CAT scan to see if it has grown anymore. He did say that if it does grow then we may be looking at a malignancy. So, I can rest assured that we got good news and take it and run, but, the growing part concerns me. This thing grew already to 7 -8 inches. What would make it stop? Also, the original reason Gary went to the doctor was because of his testicle. He still has that problem. The surgeon here said that he felt the mass was pressing on the cord leading to the testicle causing the vascular feeds to be cut off. So, since the doctor in Memphis does not plan on taking the mass out where do we go from there? I have to call the doctors today and find something out. Hopefully.
Later. God bless. Teressa. |

Howcome Dr's are like this. They tell you these things then leave you hanging. They seem to forget that people need to know what's next. I mean, do you pack up and go home and sit on your chair in fromt of the window staring out? How is Clay doing. How is he making out in school. It is good to hear the mass is not malignent. Do they have any plans to remove it seing as it is pressing on his testicle. Maybe it is one of those fatty beign tumours, or a hernia. I think you are right to call the dr. on this one. After all Gary needs to know when he will be returning to work so he can call his job and get all that settled. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers, love Linda
