Great News!

Pop had his test this AM at hospital. Just happened that a couple of the nurses were ones I went to school with were working the critical admitting area---we discussed Pop's status---and I was informed his WBC was 16,000. The diagnostic radiologist was great---did confirm a C&S was done on the "lesion" biopsy.

I paged Dr. Buth through the office, physician exchange, and finally the hospital operator to ask him to call me ASAP. Dr. Buth called me back----I told him test completed, advised him of WBC, Pop's dehydration, sleeping 20 of 24 hours, losing weight, becoming weaker, and dying a little each day. I asked him to please admit Pop. Pop was admitted in the hospital for treatment. IV's started, blood cultures done, sed rate, chemistry profile, etc., and infection control MD referral. I also called and cancelled the PET scan that was scheduled 10/30/2008 since it was to be done as out patient.

Prostate biopsy back and negative for cancer!!!!! Cannot tell you how relieved Pop was to find he does not have cancer.

Continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers!

Love,
Mom
