Decent News. Yay

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.

Oh, I agree. I’m so grateful. It could have been so much worse. Thank you for the hugs. 🌹❤️🌹

Well I'm sorry that you're sick and glad that they've caught it early. That was an 'impressive' blood pressure, congrats on the deep breathing. All the best for whatever is ahead of you.
