Switched Yet Again

I received a phone call this morning from Ophthalmologist Dr Mark Hatton's Office. It seems that Dr Iwamoto, before she has even seen me, has decided to referred me to Dr Hatton. He also is in the Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston practice and I was told he specializes in orbital tumors. I do like his nurse, Jenny Smith, and she listened to everything I had to say, answered a number of questions, and tells me that Dr Hatton is the best person for me to see. He works out of Mass Eye & Ear Hospital (MassE&E) so it means that I don't get the "easy to get to" appt on the Cape, but rather the tough ride to MassE&E off of Storrow Dr...I hate having to go up to that side of Boston! Never mind the fact that the parking is awful AND expensive :-(

After Jenny heard "my story" she gave me an appt on Tues 11/7 that will include me going to see Dr Hatton at his office, going over to MasssE&E to get a CT scan, and then coming back to Dr Hatton's office to go over the CT. At that point, depending on what is found, she tells me that they will most likely schedule a biopsy of the new tumor for the following week.

I have emailed copies of my old MRI, CT, & ultrasound to Jenny so they would have a chance to go over them beore my appt and she is going to call Dr Black's office to see about getting the surgery & pathology reports. I'm a bit disappointed that I have to wait until Tuesday now instead of going this Thursday, but at least it is only 4 days further. It figures that I had to change my original appts that were scheduled for Thursday...now everything is put off longer and I don't even have an appt that day (sigh).

Happy Halloween!
