Best nugget of the day, from the full pathology report of Dr Chris Fletcher from Harvard:
"risk of metastisis is exceedingly small."
Emphasis mine. Hooray! Not going to die from this! Now, just gotta work on saving my arm.
Which is how I spent most of the day, quite the ordeal . An exercise in threading much needed professional work through the small eyelets of time not spent talking to medical professionals. Oy! Extracting information from UCH, and from Boston, to send to MC Anderson in Houston, through the HIPPA maze, never mind finding the right people to find, send and receive info. And, of course, paying for it all.
Thank heavens for the work I did get to do! And for Laura Dombrower who brought chili and polenta. And for Eve Bluestein, Ben's friend's Sol's mom, who's a surgeon and spent her day off helping me make calls.
Prognosis is that there's going to be a lot of Houston this fall. If any of you knows people, restaurants, B&B's (for Bill and/or my mom), etc. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
