And we wait!

The Dr. had told John that they had found something - and had to send it in for tests - and that it might take a week to get the results.  There was a 50 / 50 chance of it being cancerous or not.  But when John and I talked later, both of us had the feeling that it probably was! 

On that Thursday (only two days later), I found out from one of my GP's nurses (who also happens to be a friend of mine from church) that it was cancer - and asking which Surgeon I like to set up an appointment with.  Well, I wanted to go to the Surgeon that had done my gallbladder surgery and my lumpectomy, so an appointment was set up for the next day.  Carrie, John and I went to meet with the Surgeon, who confirmed the biopsy results with a pathology report.  He told us that I would need an ultrasound that they couldn't do in Fremont, so they would refer me to an office in Omaha.  Because this appointment was late on Friday afternoon, that office was already closed for the day.  I was told to expect a call on Monday for the appointment to be set up - and so I waited.  Not too patiently I might add.  My junior detective daughter figured out what office we probably would be working with - and so I called the number she found and explained my situation.  I was told that they had me tentatively scheduled for the ultrasound on March 15 - but that they were trying to get me scheduled in sooner than that.  So on Tuesday (the next day - exactly a week after the colonoscopy), I got the call I was waiting for - they had set up a CT scan in Omaha on Tuesday, February 24 and then the ultrasound on Tuesday, March 1.
