They showed me into the room where my mom and her friend Arlene were waiting for the doctor. I think Arlene felt uncomfortable because she kept trying to offer me her chair. I was fine standing. I was glad she was there after all. She seems to have a good grip on my moms medical appointments and her medication. The doctor came in her name is DR. Mahoney and she is a very pretty woman in her thirties maybe with curly brown hair that falls into ringlets past her shoulders and blue eyes. She seemed more like a friend than a doctor. She went over all the labs and reports from the hospital and looked at my mom and said, "This is weird! You don't have any abnormal blood work that would have lead me to believe that you had cancer." She talked to my mom about the test she was ordering. I had read about it on the internet where they do a needle biopsy from your back to the lung during a Ct-scan .
She told my mom that she had put a consult in for a Stat appointment with an oncologist but it was just up to her insurance weather or not they would get that arranged. All about the money and insurance!!! Never about the patient. Don't get me started here or this will be a rant instead of a blog. Dr Mahoney read the ct report and I am now kicking myself, because I didn't get a copy of this when we were there, for her records. I won't make that mistake again. Next time, I will also bring a pad of paper and take notes.
So now here we are in the HURRY up and WAIT mode! I read my bible after dinner tonight; about the father who brought his son to Jesus to be healed in the book of Mark 9: 24 Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" and the part of the verse that struck me was: I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" So this is my prayer help me to overcome my unbelief!
