Troy's fight began on the afternoon of August 19th. I had made an appointment for a minor issue with our Family Practioner when Troy came to me and asked what time my appointment was for the next afternoon. Once I shared with him, he told me he wanted to come with me to my appointment. Since I was only going in for a minor issue I asked why. This is when he shared with me that he had a very large lump under his right arm. We were both very worried and called to change the appointment so that it could be his.
We arrived at the doctors office around a quarter to 1:00 pm. When the doctor came in and felt Troy's lump he stated that he had never felt a lump that large on a man before and immediately ordered a CT scan of his chest area. The results of the small CT scan showed that the lump was definitely one of his lymph nodes. Dr. Shelby then called McKayDee Hospital and got Troy an appointment for that afternoon with one of McKayDee's best surgeons for a biopsy of the lymph node. We drove straight to the hospital and had the biopsy done and headed home. They shared with us that they would call us Friday morning with the results of the biopsy. If it was, indeed, Lymphoma they would need to send it on to be typed.
We received a call on Friday morning around 11:00 am stating that it was definitely Lymphoma. The surgeon's office then said it would take several days to receive the type and staged.
We received a call from our Family Practioner at which time he decided to get Troy an appointment with the Oncologist as soon as possible. We were called the following day and told that Troy had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Vincent Hansen at McKay Dee Hospital on Thursday, August 28th.
