I have just spent the day trying to get V's biopsy scheduled, something I thought was going to be fairly straight forward thanks to the urgency of the ENT & Med Onc. No such luck. Meet and greet with the pulmonologist tomorrow, with a guaranty the biopsy won't be until after Christmas. If this turns out to be sarcoidosis, no bid deal. If this turns out to be reoccuring or new cancer, that has gone from nothing to red hot (SUV 19) in a matter of weeks, it's extremely frustrating to lose at least a week to the holidays.
