The oncologist visit…
The right and left sides of my brain i were out in full force today. Jim and I made a list of all the questions we were going to ask.
We prayed, chanted, and cheered each other up on the drive over to the oncologist. We were smiling when we walked into UCLA Cancer office in Laguna Hills, and the receptionist was beyond sweet. The nurse who took us in was also kind and cheerful and absolutely pleasant.
Then the doctor walked in. He greeted us and and the first thing he said was, “Nikoo, i’m sorry you’re going through this. But don’t worry, we’ll take care of you. “
This was when the tears came And then he hugged me.
These people are heroes in my eyes. Empathy is an amazing thing.
So, this is what’s ahead for me, right now…biopsies and a PET Scan over the next two weeks. We’ll start treatment around mid-May.
Love you, friends. Please keep the prayers and the positivity coming.
