Meeting the Cancer Specialist

Monday, September 21 - Kim had her first meeting with the doctor in Salt Lake City.  He had been sent all of her information from previous tests taken the last couple of weeks by the doctors here in Ogden.  Kim had developed a lump in her breast about 10 days ago and so the doctor decided that he wanted to get a biopsy of that first and determine what was going on there before he did surgery - so that they could take care of everything all at once.  As of last night Kim had gotten a hold of the Intermountain Medical Center - they will hopefully take a biopsy in the next couple of days and then if all goes well - the doctor will try to operate at the earliest next Tuesday, or at the latest on October 5th.  All of this was not exactly what Kim had in mind - as she was hoping for surgery sooner - but in true Kim style - she is going ahead and trusting that everything will fall into place and the doctor will be able to operate as soon as possible.
