I was sitting here Thursday night when the phone rang, and I answered, even though I didn't recognize the number. It was Dr. Chandran who called to see how I was and to tell me what to expect tomorrow. He asked if I had questions after he described the procedure. He said it will be 3-4 days for results from the biopsy. And he is the one who calls with results. He was a very nice doctor.

Friday the 1st of May

Procedure day.
Started out sort of rough. I was a little nervous and my blood pressure was 240/164. They had to get it down. I did deep breathing exercises until I was finally down to 140/65. Just in time for procedure. 😁

When I woke up, had a sore throat but nothing too bad. The doctor came in and said it was cancer. They caught it very early. I have to see Oncologist. My doctor thinks they can zap it with radiation and that should do it. So, I was happy to hear that. Next procedure is the Pet Scan.

So, I'm glad I had this darn thing.

I'm not saying I'm glad to have cancer, I'm saying I'm glad it's not stage 4. I consider myself very lucky. Thank you everyone for good thoughts, hugs, and prayers.
