15) Final Test - 30th October

Leigh-Ann had her final tests today at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, Vancouver.

Leigh-Ann finally got angry with the world last night. She is angry with people who do not look after themselves. People who are overweight, drink too much or smoke. She just wants to hit them! She looks after herself. She eats well, drinks little and exercises a lot. It's unfair.

We stayed in a hotel close by because we had an early start. We arrived t the hospital at 6:45am and Leigh-Ann was finished by 9:30am having had an ultrasound and a biopsy.

The only thing that the doctor, Dr Chung, would confirm prior to the biopsy results is that she has a tumour.

The whole process was fast and efficient.

Sarah joined us whilst Leigh-Ann was recovering from the anaesthetic.

Dr Chung advised us to stay close to the hospital for about 6 hours just in case her pancreas reacted badly to the biopsy but we decided to leave Vancouver after a couple of hours and drive to Chilliwack to have lunch with her mum, Joey. There is a hospital there if there was a problem.

So, that's it. We now have to wait for the results which could take another frustrating 3 - 7 days...
