October 14, 2011

 
I thought that when I next reported that I would have some news for everyone.  At the transplant center, yesterday, a committee of doctors, nurses and surgeons met about my case and the results from my biopsy.  Their conclusion was:  “We don’t know “.  Guess on the positive side, there is nothing life threatening going on with my liver.  By the same token, are we going right back to where we were in the summer?
 
The transplant people now want me to have a right heart catheter or angiogram.  They go into my heart with a wire which is placed into a large vessel in one of my legs.  By TV screen, they guide the wire into the right chamber of my heart.  They can do a number of things once they get in there.  I think the purpose is to check the blood flow from the heart to the liver. They can also open closed off vessels in necessary.
 
I can’t believe we are back to looking for something else.  Anyway, I will do what I can to help in a diagnosis and cure.  I continue to feel pretty good and will try my best to stay positive and do what I can to get better.
 
Frustrated beyond measure; Regards,
 
Mike
