Conservative Management for Now

We have a bit more news this morning. The gyn wants to try conservative management (catheterization) before doing surgery to see if the problem can resolve on its own. We're also trying to get Adrienne's radiation records to see how much radiation this area received. Her ped onc thought that this area was totally shielded but there's always scatter so I have a message into her rad onc. We should know more after she sees the gyn on Wednesday and has yet another test. Otherwise, this latest course of antibiotics has helped a bit so at least she's more comfortable, not happy about having a catheter, but she definitely prefers that to more surgery.
