Going Home for the Weekend


REMOVAL OF THE CHEST TUBE


It is 2:40 p.m. I just received a phone call from my Oncologist telling me that the biopsy was a success and that they have diagnosed the cancer as Non Hodgkin Disease. I just took another loading dose of Morphine for the road. As soon as my Thoracic surgeon gives me the "OK" to go home, I will be able to recover in the sanctity of my own dwelling. On Monday, I will be readmitted to start my three day long chemo regimen. After the three days, I will stay a couple more days to be evaluated to see how my body responds to the treatments. Hopefully all goes well, I look forward to the challenge. Besides, I already missed one of my best friend's engagement parties, I refuse to miss the bachelor party at Havasu in September.
