More Test, More Stress..whatever.
More Test, More Stress..whatever

Here is a real quick update on yesterday's visit with my Oncologist. First the place was packed and it took them an hour to get to me. I did not mind the wait but I got a little dizzy sitting in the waiting room. It wasn't too bad so by the time they called me I was feeling a bit more together. As always they took some blood, checked my blood pressure and then weighed me. The young lady that does that is very sweet and very professional. I can't say that about the rest of the idiots that work there. Anyway... I was sent to an examining room to wait to talk to the doc. I'm not sure why I do this but I can't help but notice just how tiny these rooms are. It's like the world is shrinking and I'm now apart of that tiny room. Like it or not I'm there. So the Doc. came into the room all smiles. It's kind of comforting but at the same time it's creepy! I couldn't help but to giggle a bit. Now i can't recall word for word what he told me but in a nutshell he wants to have me come in and give blood for the next three months to track my W.B.C and see if it does go down or up. He want's me to have three more tests done during that time. Well two actually. He wants to have a upper GI done. Not sure if I am spelling that right. Then he wants me to get a colonoscopy which I am not looking forward to. The procedure itself does not bother me but the crap I have to drink to (clean myself out) Not sure how that is going to work as a Diabetic. THEN either sometime in December or the first of the new year... I have to get a bone biopsy done. He told me that test would give me a definitive answer to if this is cancer or not. I'm still not convinced this is cancer and not because I am afraid or in denial. I just feel like it's nothing that serious. Of course I'm not doctor or smart enough to know what I am talking about but it's just a feeling. So once again I am set up for yet more test and more stress... whatever I can deal with it. Whatever the answer is I know I am strong enough to handle it and with any luck I will be okay. The new three months is going to be insane I am sure but I'm already insane so it's nothing new to me. It will be what it will be so let the wild ride continue. :)
