Thanks for the support guys. I called my doctor this morning to get the process rolling. Unfortunately a couple of coworkers walked in during the call. I was trying to keep it out of the rumor mill. On the positive side, they saw me lose it on the nurse and now they have a new respect.
There really hasn't been a lot of communication and when I wanted an appointment for Tuesday the nurse tried to divert me. "We can probably get this whole process started without you coming in." This was after telling her that I had been going through this for five months without anything more than, this is the next test and I needed to sit with the doctor and get a handle on things. I am surprised that I didn't curse even once.
I told her, "if I don't come in he needs to get on the phone with me. This is beyond crazy that I have a family history of liver cancer and for five months nobody has even bothered to sit me down and talk about the possibilities. I have been through multiple blood tests with nothing but a nurse telling me to come in for more or that I have an ultrasound coming up. Now they've found a lesion on my liver and I'm being told to sit back and wait for another test. That doesn't even make sense. I need to know what I'm facing. We need to sit down and work out a plan for how we fix this. . ." There was more, but I can't remember it. I just went in. I got my appointment.
Then the nurse called back about an hour later with a list of four things to start doing now. I told her if the doctor had sat down with me he would know I don't drink, I don't eat sugary junk food, and that I work out three or four days a week and walk about seven miles per day at work.
I'll probably be looking for a new doctor when this is over.
