TAKING A TRIP, NOT TAKING A TRIP in Postcards 4

My oncologist said that the cancer is acting like stage four. Three things he can try to accomplish are to shrink the cancer, slow or halt the growth, and give me a longer and good quality of life. He proposed three treatment plans after I take the PET scan Tuesday. Then we will know if the cancer has spread to other parts of my body.

George was with me as I talked to the Oncologist. He called the kids while suggesting I talk with them. This note will let my Cuz know that I am well…no matter what, and I will email my friend in AA. The thing that brings tears to my eyes is the thought that I will soon be seeing Jo, Duck, Poolie, and all the other friends I have lost these last years. More tears when I think of George. Most of the time I can smile.
