I received 2 calls today, which --as calls from doctors go-- were pretty sweet.
First, my surgeon called. All margins on the tissue he excised were microscopically confirmed as clear. So, THAT'S done.
Second, my oncologist called and cancelled my appointment for Friday, saying: Mr. Clary, I reviewed all of your records and you're clear. You could come in and I can tell you that and charge you for it I guess, but I also can make that report to you over the phone for free, which I'm pleased to do. There's no need for you to come in. After you heal up from Dr. Dupont's surgery, you're good to go.
Thus, I had the pleasure of canceling an appointment with an oncologist....and for the GOOD reasons.

Well, hale-freakin-leujah! I can't think of a nicer phone call to get from an oncologist. Fine news indeed for a Wednesday, or any day, for that matter.

ReplyDeleteI hate to bring it up, BUT I TOLD YOU SO!!!!
I guess some people would rather pay for what I tell them for free!!! >:o)
Well boss, I am heading of to Peru next week to go play the "silent game" at the temples of Machu Picchu with four of my USC buddies.

ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! You were my man!!!
JR- I lost the address for your blog- just got back on board. What great news! As Lewis Carroll would say: "Oh frabjous joy! Calloo, callay!" (I probably spelled all that wrong, but the sentiment is heartfelt).
ReplyDeleteMuch love,

Actually, looking at my quote, it should be "Oh frabjous day, Calloo, callay!" Just another example of losing "the little grey cells", as Poirot would say.
