Dr M - second visit

I saw Dr M today where I gave him the details of everything in the past and he ordered some additional tests. He also said he would get a path report from the endometrial expert pathologist (this is the opposite of what I was told yesterday by my referring doctor's office). But he said he knew the guy very well and that he'd take care of it. I was happy, as I had been quite frustrated yesterday being told that the other pathologist 'had agreed' with the first one (as reported by the first one) and there would be no more to it than that.

Dr M ordered a CA-125 test along with CT scans of the pelvis and abdomen. The blood test I was able to have done this afternoon, the CTs will be next Thursday. I also need to be admitted the 15th in the evening instead of the 16th in the morning, which will suck.

Dr M also said there was nothing to change regarding diet or other environment factors. He is apparently not a believer in all of that (although he said they are finding breast & uterine cancer more often in younger women these days, probably due to the environement). For a week now I've been drinking green tea (which I don't like) and E has repeatedly pointed out to me that forcing myself to do so is probably futile and making me feel worse. Still, I feel like I get a bit of control by doing so, so I continue to hunt for the types of green tea that are at least palatable if not delicous (jasmine, a flowery blend we have from Mariage Freres, and green tea w mint).

For now, not much else to do but wait. Tonight I travel to London, back late tomorrow evening. Again on the road from Sunday evening - late Wednesday. At least when I'm traveling like that and working hard I am not thinking about this...
