For the past three years I have had one UTI after another. Dr Kevin, our doctor here, wants to get to the bottom of what is causing them. Whenever they test a specimen of my urine there is always a trace of blood. He thinks this may mean there is an area of irritation or a small lesion in the bladder.
I am booked on a flight from Goroka to Port Moresby on the morning of Sunday 5th August and then on to Cairns that afternoon with an ETA of 6:40. I have an appointment for an initial consultation with a urologist Dr Neil Gordon on the morning of Tuesday 7th August.
Bill will be remaining here in PNG. He asked Dr Kevin if he felt I was likely to have an operation and Kevin thought NO. If I had to have an operation, Bill would want to be with me. I don't know how long I will need to stay in Cairns, it depends what Dr Gordon finds out. Therefore I have not booked my return flights yet.
I shall be staying with Trevor and Estelle, our NTM personnel in Cairns who help with medivacs and supply buying, for the first few days. Then I shall move to the home of Steve and Gay, very good friends of NTM, on the Saturday 11th for the remainder of the time I need to be in Cairns.
Lynette If you email me, I can give you a mobile phone contact number for while I am in Cairns
