Specialist Report

I didn't hear from Mom yesterday after her appointment. I waited today until I couldn't stand it any longer, then I called her around 4:00 under the pretext of talking about Easter dinner. (She and Dad agreed to come!) Mom said she liked the specialist. He told her he "usually doesn't do colonoscopies on 90 year old patients." Evidently, his thinking is that if they found cancer, they would treat for cancer...and nobody wants that. He didn't even want to do a physical exam. He did send her for blood work and wants her to have a draw every couple of months to make sure she is not losing blood. Mom said she would report back to Ves and see what he thinks.
