Pathologist slides

The only news to report today is that we heard from Jacqui, the lady who is collecting our doctor reports and any other medical data to send to eCleveland Clinic for a free (pd for by GE) online 2nd opinion. She said that the pathologist, Dr. John Cochran ("If the tumor doesn't fit, you must acquit" - Troy will think I am the biggest dork for typing this!), called her personally to ask her to send the slides of Troy's tumor results back to him as soon as possible. We couldn't figure out what all this was about so we put a call into the ENT surgeon, Dr. Earnest Riley, and the oncologist's nurse, Karen, called us before we got a call back from Dr. Riley. She said the reason for the urgency with getting the slides back was because they were already working on a second opinion from Emory University and they wanted the slides ASAP so they could get Troy going with the best course of treatment. We like the fact that the doctors are collaborating amongst each other to give the best care to Troy. I guess we will know more tomorrow when we meet with the oncologist, Dr. Bruce Goldsweig.
