The Quick New Plan
So in Spokane at the doc's office, mom and I were informed that surgery would be the only option for something that was cutting my time short. The tumor was non-hodgkins lyphoma, 4.5x5 inches. Bob was gonna be lifted out (pffft by helicopter) by opening my chest, that's aka chainsaw to the chest method. Barbaric! I think I prayed my hardest right then and there. Feakiest moment of my life! The doc gave me a gown and said to get ready. I was like 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!' in my brain. Mom was probably following up with the chorus. I couldn't stop praying, “OH GOD, I don't want my chest SAWED open!” I'm thinking in the back of my mind, don't I still have twisted vertebrae and gnarly ribs that wouldn't got back together well after my chest is cracked open?!?!? "There's got to BE another WAY!" Just then, literally, another doctor caught our doc in the hall and said “Wait! There is another way! We can mix up a stronger batch of chemo and use Rituxin before hand...blah blah blah.” Mom and I both exhaled and laughed crazily, commenting that we'd both been praying madly just then.
