More News.
Doctor called me yesterday. My wife was sleeping. I got home from work around 1815hrs. The phone rang and it was her doctor, the Surgeon/Oncologist guy. He said they found more cancer in one of her Lymph Nodes. He said it's not that bad. They found it in the Sentinel Node and one other Auxiliary Node. He also said they found Invasive Cancer in the remaining breast tissue on her breast that they removed two weeks ago. Remaining because she already had a Lumpectomy done on that breast last fall. I forgot to ask him about the left breast tissue, they removed that one too. I guess if they found something there he would have told me about that.
The doctor said they got it all. The doctor said nothing has changed. She will start Chemotherapy in a few weeks. The doctor said it all looks good, for now.
I didn't know how to tell her. I just told her straight out. She was actually relieved. I didn't understand. Why would she be relieved to find out that she actually had an Invasive Cancer hiding like a sniper, camouflaged amongst the DCIS? She told me why. It makes sense when you think about it.
When they found cancer in her Sentinel Node after the biopsy they did a couple weeks before the double mastectomy, they said they didn't understand why it would be there. They said that DCIS does not do that. DCIS does not "travel". She was worried because it was an unknown. Now it's a known. It's a known and they got it all. Her most excellent Surgeon/Oncologist got it with his scalpel. Now, just to make sure, another doctor will nuke that bastard Cancer with Chemotherapy. The other doctor is a Medical Oncologist.
On Friday, 16MAY08 around 0915 hrs. I was standing on the loading dock at a grocery store called Pechin's in Conelsville. It's on 119 just south of town. Actually, I think it's in Durbin. The Nurse called me on my Trac phone. The Nurse is our primary contact with the Surgeon/Oncologist. She apologized for calling me at work. I told her not to worry about it. The guys from Pechin's were unloading about one thousand cases of stuff that was all stacked and shrink wrapped on pallets from the back of my forty-eight foot trailer. They have to check everything in while they unload. Basically, I just stand around for two hours while they do this.
The Nurse said that they were scheduling her an appointment with the Medical Oncologist. She also said they were scheduling her an appointment with a Pain Management Specialist. She said that Pain Management may also include some therapy to help her deal with all this. The Nurse said she is mailing two more prescriptions for the pain killers that my wife needs while she recovers from this surgery.
Hey Tommy. I'm good. I don't need therapy. You know how that goes. I just drive my big truck all around this Western and Central Pennsylvania. It's a great detail. Nobody bothers me. I'm my own boss. I get overtime and I'm home every night. I usually start at 0430, maybe 05. Two days a week it's 0830 hauling produce. I'm home between 1430 and 1800 hours, depending on the day. I don't even listen to the radio. I turn the stupid CB off. The CB is usually just full of guys who like to hear themselves talk and they talk about nothing at all related to road conditions. No man, I just think while I drive. It's all good on my end brother.
Hey Tommy. Man, I have got to tell you about this place where I run produce. It's called Whyte's Comet Market. It's right on the Allegheny River in Parker. On the west side of the river just ten miles from exit 42 off I80. It's the coolest store man. They got the nicest people working there. The fishing is great, or so I've been told. Maybe I'll find out for myself one day.
