In as many days

In the last three days, I have seen as may doctors. They can be a pain.

The Cancer doctor gave me really good news. It appears that the cancer is gone. They can't guarantee it, but it seems to be completely gone. I'll be seeing him every 4 months now for a year.

I had a small lump on the palm of my hand which has been there since September. It started growing and I was a bit concerned so I went to the family Dr. He told me that the lump or cyst as he calls it is in "no man's land" because of the complexity of the hand. He sent me to a general surgeon who looked at it and told me it's in "no man's land" etc. He sent me to a hand specialist. He told me that he suspected a foreign body, probably a splinter that the body is attacking. He told me that it is causing what is called "proud flesh" and that it can be problematic in the future. I am going to have surgery on my hand on the 17th.

I have learned a valuable lesson! No more yard work for me!! At least not without gloves.

If you have too many lumpectomies you could be a lot less than you are now.

I am excited to see the interaction that is beginning to take place.
I love you all.

Keep the faith.
