My oncologist jump started my morning

I didn't sleep well so I was still snoozing when he called promptly at 8am. He never calls in the morning, let alone first thing. I've been seeing him for almost nine years and he still doesn't know my voice, so he asks "is David there, I need to discuss his test results with him?" This is my first CT scan at a one year interval, done yesterday afternoon. One big adrenaline rush later he tells me the scan was clear and the CEA stayed steady at 2.2. So here I am, wide awake, wishing everyone here might get a similar, albeit startling phone call. It gets the day going. Next up is surgery on Dec. 11 to rein in this baby[hernia] joined to my right side and belly, followed by 6-8 weeks of no physical stuff. The plastic surgeon says they have one shot and if I screw it up, nobody's going to want to touch it again. Anyway I just wanted to bring some good news to all the people here who helped me get through the rough stuff, and be one more story for the new folk to hear. Have a great day..................................................Dave
