Thank you, all, for your prayers, good wishes, and blessings.
Unfortunately, the news was not good. I do have cancer and will need surgery - sooner rather than later. My doctor is a sweetheart. He insists that I will do just fine because I am active, mentally positive, and young (I think that was flattery!). And I make a lousy victim.
Friday I get my pre-admission blood work done. Monday I have to have another biopsy - of a lymph node - and Tuesday is a long day of EKG, chest x-ray and PET/CT scans.
And then - TO BATTLE STATIONS!
I hope you all have a joyous holiday. I intend to have a blast.
Since today is Festivus (the holiday for the rest of us), we will now have the airing of grievances.
