positive

so it's cancer.

some of the cells looked pretty nasty. but it's not spreading yet, so that's good. dr. randall didn't give me much detail when i talked to him for a few minutes this afternoon about the results. he said he'll go over stuff in a lot more detail at my appointment on monday.

it's gonna take surgery, he said. removal and replacement. be prepared to be in the hospital for a few days. and he wants to move fast, thinks he'll schedule it for a week from monday.

so, more news later. meanwhile i'm gonna see if i can scare up a copy of my biopsy results from the nurse.

gotta get at least a name so i can start googling and figure out all the questions i have.

for now, i just feel kinda numb about it all. ambivalent. honestly, relieved just to know that they know what it is now.

or, that i know what it is now.

  1. oh man... that seems incredibly unfair - damnit - not spreading though, that's a good good sign - and great that you and your doctor are moving fast on it - i'm sure you'll kick that cancer's ass - hey, if you ever want to talk or chat or anything, i'll be around - i'm pulling for you - you've been such a light in my life, you should have the best of care - how surreal it must be - is for me... i hope you'll keep blogging about it, or whatever else
