Cancer Dance

Well this all happened pretty quickly - the whole cancer thing.

I've had this little knot in my neck for months. Slowly going from pea-sized to marble, when I finally went for my regular checkup I pointed it out the PA and reminded her this had been there for a while. She was concerned enough to have me see another doctor who immediately made a rush appointment to see an Oncologist. It was implied early on that it was very possibly lymphoma, after three doctors and preliminary tests it seemed even more so.

The last round of tests was not so much to see if I had cancer, but try to determine just what type and how far it had spread. I was a mess.

Last week though I got in touch with my doctor only to get a "well guess it wasn't what we thought after all" there's really nothing there, maybe just an impacted gland or fat deposit - okay.

So now I'm still reeling from that, the emotional ups and down. It really brough things in focus, now I'm trying to process what to do with all the emotion (and clarity) this dredged up.
