Cancer

Got back from the doctor with my results.

I have cancer. Yep, you heard right, cancer. In the small intestine.

But, it was caught early, hasn't spread, and more importantly, hasn't affected my lymph nodes yet. So, I start chemo next week, and my doc says theres a very good chance that I won't need surgery. So, that's good news.

I guess. I still feel like total shit. But, I'll also be going on a drug called Neulasta that should help keep me from getting so drained.

So, life goes on, and you just have to roll with the punches I suppose. But, I have found a bit of humor in this.

As a lot of people know, I'm a big Star Trek fan. Well, I'm sitting in the room, talking to the doc about the treatment stuff, and it dawns on me what his name is.

Yep, my new doctors name is Dr Bashir. I just pointed at him and started to laugh, so he looks at me like I'm a blooming idiot. So, I explained why I was laughing. Anyway...

So, there it is...and yeah, I'm a bit scared but, I know I can get through this. I mean, I guess I have 2 options:

I can sit her and cry and whine, and say "Oh woe is me...whaaa whaaa..."

Or;

I can get my treatments done as soon as possible, and just do what I have to do.


Man...I need a hug....
