Double Checking

Back in January, I underwent a colonoscopy and because of some other symptoms my Oncologist suggested that I ask my doctor to do an Upper GI.  An Upper GI was also performed along with some biopsies, revealing nothing.  Well...  as a precautionary measure, I underwent an Ultra Sound and a HIDA scan of my abdomen and shortly after those two procedures, the doctor's nurse called and said he wanted do an MRI of my liver since some a lesion was discovered.   I told her that I don't do well with an MRI and would need to put out.  Her boss said he does not authorized that without being given permission from my family doctor.

Well...  after a weekend of considerations, I decided to contact my Oncologist especially since I have alternating CT and PET scans ever 3 months and if there was a lesion, then surely it would have shown up on one of those two scans.  Plus, I was wondering if my Oncologist would want another doctor performing those kinds of tests outside of the UT Medical Center system.

My Oncologist said to send the result of the HIDA/Ultra Sound tests to him and that he would decide how to proceed when he saw me in a couple of weeks...  well...  that sort of ended the matter in my mind until today when I received a letter from from gastro-intestinal doctor indicating that my HIDA/Ultra Sound showed NOTHING...  not even a lesion on the liver was mentioned in the letter.

If I had not been a little curious would I have had to undergo a NEEDLESS PROCEDURE???
