Mike went to the Doctors yesterday and the results are confirmed. Dr. Staddon said (among other things) that without saying he is 100% sure, he is 99.9% sure that the masses growing on Mikes body are in fact his cancer.
Needless to say we had a lot of questions and he was answering them or we weren't leaving. First question...How can you be sure? I preface this by saying when he was looking at the scans he made an oh-so Staddon remark "Who can read these things? It looks like all squiggles to me!". I wasn't laughing and when I glanced at Christine she replied politely "I know I can't!"...then gave the look of disgust. While I read her mind I only could imagine what she was thinking "but you should be able to, you are after all an oncologist, and you've been treating my brother for over 10 years. So do your job and stop trying to make jokes."
Dr. Staddon was in in rare form. We left the office with "best question's of the day's awards". Yeah. Sarcasm has quickly become a life saver for me. I find the more sarcastic I am the more I enjoy this.
Quote of the office visit in reference to "how would they remove Mike's tumor if they needed to?". "Well I wouldn't because I would get sick."
Ahh...on to a glass of wine.
Oh yeah, trial could be approved within a week. I won't hold my breath :)
I will hold my breath for you then ;) and also pray that the doctors have more wisdom then sarcasm... Ugh
