Date with the knife - Update.

Aha……..the amazing power of prayer.  I had the heart cart late Friday afternoon; my doctor was totally blown away with the results.  The by passes that were done over 20 years ago are WIDE open, no restriction at all.  Several of the areas that were blocked originally are totally blocked but present no problem with the open by-passes.  No heart surgery necessary!!!!!!

I seen the cancer and lung doctor today, they were both concerned with the masses that showed on the CAT scan.  They wanted to do a biopsy today but couldn’t due to the medication I am taking, I am scheduled for next Tuesday at 6AM. They will go between the ribs and take a couple of samples; I should have results within two days following the procedure.

I am convinced your prayers are working. 

Thanks so much.

I'm glad to hear that you don't require heart surgery.  I have a brother-in-law whose chest looks like a rod map from all the surgery scars. I am guessing you are taking a blood thinner and that delayed the biopsy. Do you take coumodin or warfarin?

Hey that's great news Rockbilly.  We will continue to pray that the lung biopsies turn out to be nothing as well.

God bless.

I was wondering after your initial post how they knew in advance that stints were gonna be needed. I've had two heart caths and my doctor said that was what the cath was about was to see if stints were needed and if so to do them or whatever else was required while in there.

That you didn't need them after they got in kinda tells me they really didn't know in advance but merely speculated.

Best wishes to you on a speedy and painless recovery. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

I've decided two of them is enough for me. I'm not going thru it again at least not if I'm conscious and able to say no.

I hope all turns out well for you.
