I should have made this phone call weeks ago. Maybe even months ago. But I’m loathe to make it at all.
I’m scheduled for my annual thyroid biopsy in mid-September. Yuck. Last year a few weeks before the biopsy, I had a ultrasound scan and bloodwork done. But this time, I don’t have appointments for a scan or bloodwork, just the biopsy. Did the doctor decide I don’t need those? Did he just forget to schedule them? Should I have made those appointments on my own?
I don’t know so I have to call the hospital and find out. In Japanese. I’m not sure what’s worse, having a big needle jabbed into my throat or having to figure out how to ask if I need extra appointments.
