Final doctor visits before surgery

7-26-10 In the last two weeks Ted has had a physical, MRI and a CAT SCAN in Roanoke, he and Tammy also met with the anesthesiologist in Baltimore. They really like this doctor. She was very thorough. She spoke with Ted's cardiologist and general doctor is Roanoke and reviewed his medical records completely. She explains that Ted may have to go to ICU for a few days on a ventilator if there are any complications with his heart or breathing. It is better to know that up front; if the doctor said this after surgery, that would have been very scary.
This week Ted/Tammy travel back to Baltimore for the final scope. Dr. Schoenburg will determine what the chemo has done and what alternative Ted will have in place of his bladder.
