Carter's Ultrasound

Hello again!  We just heard back last night about Carter's ultrasound.  His pediatrician said that it's definitely a solid mass, but that he and the radiologist can't determine what it is.  So the next step is that we'll be referred to a pediatric surgeon, probably out of Stanford.  He'll most likely either want to do an MRI or a biopsy, both of which Carter will have to be sedated for.  The referral may not go through for a week so for now...more waiting!  The doctor decided to make me feel even better by saying, "if it is a tumor, there's very few people that will even know what to do with it."  Nice, right?  Yeah.

  1. Wow... talk about a professional. I think sometimes doctors forget that their patients are people, with families... like MOTHER'S who read into EVERYTHING that is said! I'm sorry friend. One step at a time!
