Step 5

Mr.  Fixit had his appointment today with the lung guy—a very nice young man. I feel better now after speaking with him. He gave me a little hope.

He thinks it may be possible to perform both kidney removal and a bronchoscopy to do a biopsy on the lung tissue at the same time. He’s having another doctor look at Mr. Fixit’s scans, and we should know something by next Wednesday. If necessary, they can take some tissue through the chest.

He said that Mr. Fixit is a good, strong candidate for the coming procedures.

As I said, I know the odds, but at least now I have hope for a better outcome than I had before.

There was another little snafu though with this appointment. It shakes my confidence in the medical profession. This one had nothing to do with the physicians, but with their staffs again.
