"You have a test result"

I saw plenty of people today during the day including oncology, and surgical oncology about the plan and mostly the consensus was we need to wait for the biopsy results.  I had 2 things that are noteworthy.  The first was from labs drawn earlier this morning.  One of the cancer markers they checked was really high.  Most people want to be off the charts but not me in this regard.  The other information I'm learning is that the Doctor who did the biopsy said this looked like metastatic colon cancer. 

The other noteworthy thing that happened today was a CT it was scheduled for 1:30 p.m and it was just before 2 p.m. when our Pastor and a consistory member ( a good friend) showed up in my room as did the wheelchair to take me to the CT.  My nurse talked with the person taking me down to see if they were staying or leaving after dropping me off.  She said, she was staying.  So it was a quick trip down to radiology and 2 passes through the CT machine one without IV contrast (just oral contrast), and another WITH IV contrast.  About 10 minutes later I arrived back in the room.  On the way back to the room I almost ran into an occupied bed and I wasn't driving.  This person told me not to say anything so If you know them I didn't tell you.  

When back in the room Leah and I had a great conversation with the 2 men from  our church before they left.  Later in the day Leah said to me "You have a test result".  She checks our email account and when MyChart sends me something they let me know by email.  The app itself notifies my on my phone. So I checked the result and it was the result of the CT.  The main purpose of the CT with oral and IV contrast was to find any other spots in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.  From what I read they did not find cancer in any other locations than the Mass we discovered on Saturday.  

As of now we still do not have results from the biopsy taken from the Mass.
