October 31st – Never Be The Same
Yesterday was quite the interesting day as I was at the hospital for quite a lengthy time. My surgery is now scheduled for 9am Tuesday morning. I need to register at 7am and I then sit around waiting in there until I go in. I am supposed to fast and stop taking vitamins three days…
October 28th – Shatterproof
Things next week are going to be interesting. On thursday I find out what time my surgery is scheduled for next week. If things do not go well then I will be done fairly quickly and if things go well then I will be there for a much lengthier amount of time. I will be…
October 27th – Schrodinger
I lied. So when I had said that it was going to be clear sailing for 4 to 6 weeks while I waited to hear when surgery is? Yeah, that is not the case. I should have known better though really. Why would it take me 4 to 6 weeks when that is normally how…
October 22nd – Do What You Want
When I chat with Mel and my friends they are disheartened that something like this can happen to me. Mel articulated it saying that we try and do good, give back and be helpful. I am ok with this happening to me as opposed to someone else that I know. I have a strong network…

October 11th – Dusk to Dawn
I had written yesterday in between my oncologist and my planning setup. Drinking the barium for the contrast sucked. It was just one cup, but the consistency was similar to a thick drink. Looking at it brought me back memories of drinking protein drinks during treatment. They told me that I had to drink it…
October 10th – Does anything exist when we are not looking
We just finished our appointment with the oncologist and there is not really any new information. Mel is sitting beside me so she might sneak some glances over at what I am writing. There was no new information really but we discussed what the options were. The doctor recorded the sessions for transcription so I…

October 7th – Hearts Burst into Fire
I heard from one of my doctors today and I have an appointment scheduled in person on Friday with him followed up by a scan. I am assuming that I am going to get a tattoo to help mark to help line up radiology. Over the last couple of days I have been feeling quite…
