I am trying to pull things together today. I think I will return to the surgeon who removed my gallbladder (initially my first choice for surgery). He and my Pulmonary Doc/Critical Care doc are familiar with my health problems and I feel safer in this environment. I cannot go into surgery wondering if someone will know what to do about the Prednisone issue. While I like the doctors I have seen at the school, I have only recently been seen there and don't feel they are overly familiar with my history.

The slides from all 3 biopsies are being sent to an out-of-state Pathologist, whose name I can't remember, but he writes pathology textbooks and the hospital here consults with him on occasion... This makes me feel a little better having someone else look at them...

Smart idea on the pathologist. I'll have an update for ya on Thrusday but looks like I may be bound for surgery in Texas on 7/24

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Cathie :hug:
