Biopsied.
Today’s operation was a success. According to the pathologist they were able to remove three viable samples for biopsy via ultrasound-guided needle. I should receive results in 2-5 days, and I have an appointment with my oncologist, Dr. Winter, on Monday to go over the results.
No alarms and no surprises. Please…
The process was virtually painless. More painless than getting a bad phlebotomist. However, my weird math was correct. We returned home after 2pm. I spent the rest of the day organizing medical files. And another day for Aura and I got consumed by Hodgkin’s. It’s like a cancer…seriously.
In other news, I was able to make contact with Northwestern’s Librarian to help me research and prepare for what I will be facing if Hodgkin’s has indeed returned. I’ve traded Google for her. Except that Google is still on my team, it’s just not going to get as much playing time.
Over the past days, I’ve had some time to reflect and prepare myself to increase my self-care for this phase of treatment. Last Thursday made it clear to me, like only a punch to the throat can, that every moment of this is too serious not to. Hopefully life for Aura and I can be redesigned to make that more of a possibility than it has been thus far.
