Had a Zoom-style appointment with the oncologist today, basically to follow up on the test results. It went like I expected. He wants biopsies of the four thyroid nodules, along with me getting the colonoscopy done on Monday. (💩 seems to be appropriate, in more ways than one!)

What I didn't expect was a same day appointment with the endocrinologist. I never get in with specialists same day! Many times I don't get in same month. One time, I didn't get in same year!

Anyhow, they can help test for any issues with my thyroid in addition to getting the biopsies. Blood tests and the like. So, I'm happy with that!

I'm less than thrilled about losing a day of work though. My health will absolutely come first, especially when we're talking about possible cancer, but I need to pay the bills too.

Another week of egg sandwiches, hot dogs and ramen I guess. Could be worse!
