Thanks AnneMarie, JoAnne and Sharlee.
I understand what each of you said, andI think maybe I didn't post correctly...I wanted formt he beginning for them to check mom's heart before she went to have surgery-my beef is that they never called to tell us something was abnormal, I called them because of ins and mri issues and asked what her results were, that's the only time that they said soemthing about her seeing a cardio because of the abnormal t-wave. I think it was unfair and to see my mom build up her strength-emotionally-day by day and then to hear her voice and see her expression when they said it was called off because something is not quite right with her heart. Her doctor never called to talk to her after they decided to cancel it....no one from the onc office called to see that she understood. I think I am just miserable about everything these days and probably spoiled from having very good doctors and specialists for my care. This waiting is difficult, to say the least.
I wish you all a very happy mothers day!
