Today - Results

I started off my morning by meeting up with Angele Menard, who is the director of the Lymphoma Foundation Canada, here in Montreal. Over a good cup of coffee, we discussed where I was headed with the events being planned. Things are progressing. She is happy, I am happy, hopefully I won't disappoint my many supporters.

12:32 p.m. I leave the cafe and head off to Maisonneuve Hospital where my mother is waiting for me so we can get my results from the x-rays I took last week. Last week I had to drink that gross liquid. 2 "beer" glass size filled with what looks like orange crush but tastes like glue. yum.yum. You have to drink it in 10 minutes and wait for 2 hrs before taking this specific exam, and the retarded joke is that there is another glass waiting for you before they hook you up to the machine. Those bastards!!!

Dr. Fish, my oncologist, sees me and calls me in the office. My mother is already tearing up and I have absolutely no reaction. WTF??? Dr. Fish looks at me and smiles. I tell him about the work I am doing for the foundation and that I got my scholarship to gradschool for my MFA. I am moving to Boston, fantastical! He tells my mother, "You have quite the implicit daughter." I am assuming I should take that as a compliment. I guess I shall have to bring a dictionary with me when I leave for Boston...lol...

He says things are looking good. My mother doesn't feel that this is a good enough reply, she needs details. "Is it gone?", she asks. "The tumor is gone." She double takes and kisses me all over, crying like a babe. I had lipstick marks everywhere and was more frustrated by having that all over my face...lol...She got up to kiss the doc and he didn't mind the liptick at all. I love him.

So guys this is what it is. My tumor is gone. Doesn't mean that my process is over though. I still have to undergo exams and start radiation to make sure that everything is out! OUT! OUT!OUT! This is fantastical news. What is better that he reassured my mother about me moving away and that all will be well.

We went to see nonna and nonno to tell them about the goodness. My mom screamed so loudly inside the garage that nonno freaked out a bit because his hearing aid went into overdrive...lol...god, I love my family, the crazies and tards all together. Nonna is going to donate money to Santo Rocco in Reggio Calabria, Italy because it was to him she prayed for my good health and to him she will give $500.00. What do you think he will do with it? ahh well...

Today was a good day. Now I have to go sew some pants for costume class tomorrow...YAY!! (arrrgghhhhh).
