Just a small update
Dad had CT scan then on saturday a letter arrived asking him to come for an ultrasound guided biopsy via endoscopy next week. We've had no explanation why this is happening, or what they'll be taking a biopsy of.
Plus feeling a bit frustrated that we're just being left in limbo even longer, and CT scan took 13 days to be done..rather than the 7-10 days we were told. Not impressed quite frankly- will be speaking to mcmillan nurse tomorrow about some more info, personally I think they're doing it to take a biopsy of lymph nodes, or to back themselves up before starting surgery (as sometimes things can be too small to asess and grade via CT) however so fed up of the lack of communication.
Going to throw myself into dissertation work now..it's due in 3 weeks, so..need to get my butt in gear (although I do have an extension but i'll use it if something major happens with my dad).
Uni also aren't going to be changing my placement now- not too sure how thrilled I am to be on a ward which is palliative for 12 weeks whilst all this is going on with my family. Despite my dad not being classed as terminal at this very moment- it's always at the back of my mind. Plus the ward does 5 days a week and I can't do long day shifts which is a bit frustrating as I'd prefer to do 3 long days, meaning I can have a bit of flexibility to spend time at home but also be at uni...grrr, but I'll feel pedantic saying something!
