Morning, muchachos.
Good morning, Raz. How's the fam holding up?
In a holding pattern.
Didn't he have a consultation yesterday? Or did that get pushed back?
The surgeon informed us yesterday that the UW lab was unable to come to a diagnostic biopsy result because they said the tissue sample was insufficient. A second endoscopy is scheduled for tomorrow to gather more tissue.
So we're in this weird space where nobody can even say it's cancer officially, let alone what kind, including the surgeon. All he can say is, "I've done this a lot, and I've never seen this not be what I think it is. So maybe there will be a miracle and this is benign, but I wouldn't go placing bets."
That was oddly comforting. We'd rather assume the worst than be surprised by it.
