I spoke with the surgeon (whom I had yet to meet) earlier in the evening.
She called to inform me she had canceled my hernia surgery that was scheduled in a couple weeks and explained why. She also indicated that due to the mets, she wanted additional testing including a CT scan with contrast.
I went that night. I had already planned on seeing my neighborhood bestie, my favorite Colombian, Karla so I asked her to accompany me. That way too for the boys, it wasn't weird for me to be leaving later in the evening - it just looked like I was going to hang out with a friend.
Internally I was terrified. Not for the test, but for what it might show. I had this irrational thought that what if the cancer was everywhere?
The test was quick. Karla tried to feed me Chik Filet before recalling I don't eat meat haha but then treated me to Wawa.
By the time we got home - I got the message a test result was ready.
The cancer did not appear to have spread to other soft tissues, organs, etc.
There were two small areas "of concern" (to be clear, I was not concerned based on what I read) that they wanted to address further but HOLY COW, I was CLEAR!
Let me tell you did I break down after that one - and release all that pent-up tension of the what ifs....
I rode the high of those results ALL the next day.
