Hoje foi uma confusao para marcar a cirurgia amanha. Estava tudo pronto, mas uma combinacao de fatores fez com que fosse adiada para prox terca feira. O que houve foi que meu oncologista estava viajando no exato momento da minha consulta, entao nao podia atender telefone. O cirurgiao ao ver meus ultimos exames constatou que nodulo diminuiu de 1.2 cm para 0.9 cm. Ele normalmente nao operaria um paciente em que a lesao esta desaparecendo. Alguma horas depois, ele falou com meu oncologista, e tendo em vista meu passado quando tinha ocorrido exatamente isso e o cancer voltou a se manifestar, ele indicava a cirurgia. Acho que nos USA nao teriam pensado duas vezes em operar, eh uma escola de medicina mais agressiva que a brasileira, onde tentam poupar pacientes. Enfim, ficou tudo para proxima semana.

Today was complicated to book the surgery for tomorrow. Everything was alright but for many reasons, we have to reschedule next Thursday. What happened is that my oncologist was travelling at that time and couldn't answer the phone. The surgeon saw that the size of the nodule decreased from 1.2 to 0.9 cm. He cannot operate something that is decreasing. Few hours later, my oncologist talked to him, and because of my past (cancer was back the same way last time), he recommended surgery. In the US, they would have operate with no doubt, their medical way of doing is more agresive than in Brazil, where they try to spare the patients. So, it is booked for next week.
