Michael slept well last night, got up at 6:00 am and got the hospital a little after 8:00 am. Today we’re going to see Dr. Hsu (許秉權). Eileen’s Mom and brothers all got here before 9:00 am. Dr. Hsu was ready to see us around 9:20 am.
He showed us most recent MRI, some image in 3D and lung x-ray as well.
From the MRI image, he suspected this was a high grade tumor which indicated the possibility of a malignant one, but he had yet to confirmed the details until her biopsy of which took about 4 – 5 days after the surgery; there was also possibility this tumor was not primary one but came somewhere else from her other part of the body. Let me not to bog our readers down with all technical jargons and the rest of medical details, anyway I was not trained to articulate them like a doctor lest one would be misled.
Dr. Hsu did encourage Eileen to be courageous since he believed this whole process would not be a simple course like a sitcom that everything was resolved well within 30 min. time slot. To fight the cancerous illness, we need to be prepared to persevere in a long course.
The good part was Eileen was physically fit for the operation. Her surgery would likely start sometimes after lunch tomorrow and could be done around 5:00 – 6:00 pm barring any unexpected development. She would stay in ICU overnight and transfer to the regular medical ward for recovery.
“My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.”
Psalm 62:1
