Doctor gave me the results today. As a whole she's out of her league and is willing to admit it. No way she says that I have something common and even really uncommon. Carcinoid looks unlikely. VIPoma is out. But she also doesn't think that I should be walking around. (I just "ran" a 20-minute 2 miles. (at 275# and 5'4" that's an ccomplishment.)
She calling in the top doctor for a referral. I think I'm headed to Iowa, a place I never thought of as a medical miracle mecca.
The good news is GAL works. I've lost 45lbs, 14% of body mass, since the W filed for D 38 days ago!
I'm frustrated that my wife and son "know" that it's illegal to contact me. (No, the Protection Order works only one way. I can't contact them.) I wish I could find out who is misleading them and stop it. I believe that even a few moments of conversation could start a real reconciliation. My lawyer says not to push for too much. I need to let the big D fall off the table and be forgotten before going after more. Time is my ally. The holidays approach. The effects of separation will mount. I must be patient. (I hate this nevertheless. I do have to remember. Small steps are a big deal!)
