Dr. T., from UCLA, called us Saturday evening at 7:00. He said he was looking at additional scans that had previously been taken of George and that he was now not ruling out surgery at this time. He said the quality of the scans was not good, but upon closer study he felt things looked better than he originally felt when we met with him last Thursday.
Dr. T. will be working on our insurance approval to get us in immediately for the high imaging scans of the pancreas that will be more specific to that area. At that time, he will know for sure if surgery is an option or not. We're hoping that the scans will be no later than this coming week.
In any case, if surgery is found to be a possibility, at least we have more options to choose from in the not too distant future.
