I've been waiting all day for the results but unfortunately, while the lab may draw blood on weekends, it doesn't appear like they test the sample or provide results. I've been checking the website periodically throughout the day and nothing.
Argh.
So looks like I have to wait until Monday. And since I'm teaching summer school right now, I won't check the site until I've finished for the day. I don't want potentially heartbreaking news to throw me off for the day. Who wants to be an emotional mess in front of a bunch of 15/16 year olds?
My parents arrive on Monday as well. Due to a cancellation, my father was able to get in to see the surgeon Tuesday morning. Like most people, I did a quick google search of the doctor. I was pleased to discover the surgeon is one of the country's leading surgeons in the field of pancreatic cancer. On Thursday, my dad has a PET scan. On the cancer agency website, it cautions pregnant women to stay away from anyone who has had the scan. My GP looked into it and she said what it means is that I can't sit next to him. So sadly I won't be driving my dad to his appointment. The radiation fades after 24 hours so I won't have to distance myself from him for too long.
Here's hoping that next week brings good news all around!
