Visit to Dr. Peabody

Dr Peabody Visit at University of Chicago Medical Center for Advanced Medicine @ 1300 HRS

  • Met with Dr Terrance Peabody and his associate, Dr Angeline @ 1300 HRS
  • Once again, nothing more to say about visit other than UNBELIEVABLE!
  • Upon arrival (10 minutes early), we were treated with utmost professionalism in a personal, "family" atmosphere
  • Dr Angeline (note the last name starts with GOD's helpers) met with us first in doctor's office BEFORE scheduled time and our X-Rays and scans of Gina's leg were being looked at right away by the Radiologist
  • Dr Angeline took Gina's personal information and then told us what to expect from visit
  • Dr Peabody came in, followed by Dr Angeline and a visiting doctor and showed us the X-Rays and scans
  • Dr Peabody said something showing up around outer bone of right femur and said it could be from Gina getting hit with that softball line drive in June OR could be the cancer starting
  • Dr Peabody suggested we have an operation that would give him a biopsy sample which they could check in THEIR OWN LABS within @ 30 minutes and tell if cancer or not
  • If not cancer, close up incision and send us home; If cancer present, then insert steel rod through hip bone into middle of Femur to strengthen it and secure with pin on each end, monitor Gina overnight and send home sometime Friday
  • Dr Peabody had us scheduled for surgery THIS THURSDAY ALREADY at 6 AM!
  • After surgery, if cancer was found, follow-up with Radiation

Your sister did my ultra sound at Dr. Brown's office yesterday and told me of your recurrence. (I was diagnosed last Oct. at the age of 39 with breast cancer.) I am sorry to hear that you are going through this again. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,

Dear Gina,

Sounds like you've been
way busier than anyone would ever wish for you to be battling the old
cancer opponent. You would think cancer would know better than to mess
with you again! I couldn't believe the gall that disease has. It sounds
like this time, cancer has some new tactics but that you are right
there ready with your own new strategies and the best team of medical
practicioners imaginable. It also sounds like you have already donned your
warrior garb and are back in the heat of battle so you can wipe it out
quickly. You go girl!

I will be lifting you up in prayer often throughout my day. I love
you. You are an amazing woman, spiritually, mentally and physically.

Lisa
p.s. I do not have your current email.
