Confusion in Direction at 34 Weeks?
I'm a bit stressed today, I called the gyno-oncologist (Dr. Bhoola) to follow-up since I hadn't heard back from him like he had said last week. He took my call and apologized but said he was still discussing my case with the head oncologist (Dr. Borst) and waiting to speak to the OB/GYN they had referred me to (Dr. Martin) that's currently scheduled to do my hysterectomy 10/30. Anyway, as of today he told me he didn't think I needed the hysterectomy to be done at the same time as the c-section, since when he did a colposcopy last week he didn't see any lesions AND that he wasn't sure the c-section needed to be done at 37 weeks. WHAT? Why has it taken these doctors 34 weeks to figure this out....or does this doctor even know what the heck he's talking about? I'm trying not to melt down right now. It's not the final decision, but I'm just torn...I've been off work for SO long. Although I know the c-section in conjunction with the hysterectomy could be risky, I just can't imagine having a c-section and then having to go back in a few months to be cut into again (more than likely producing a second scar) and having to spend another 6 weeks at home recovering...we CAN'T financially do that.
I just got back from an appointment with the perinatologist, who was going to call Dr. Lamb who's scheduled to do my c-section 10/30 and let him know what was going on with the other doctors. I was advised to call Dr. Bhoola back tomorrow to follow-up AND I put a call into Dr. Brown my trusted gyno-oncologist in CA to ask his advice on the whole thing.
The good news of the day....baby Claytor is doing well and weighed in at 4 lbs 11 ozs today, but wasn't cooperative enough to give us any clear 4D photos. We were able to see some hair, chubby cheeks, fingers and toes.
