Oncologist means cancer doctor. Radiation means fast cooking.
Early yesterday AM I received a phone call from my Urologists Admin Assistant. She is either very influential and efficient or I am in trouble. I am going to see a Radiologist Oncologist at 8:30 AM. More blood work, more meetings with professionals and of course this means more information. More information means a decision will once again have to made; do I proceed with treatment or should I wait.
For some reason I am uneasy about this meeting. No good reason. I just have some "fear of the unknown". I don't have to make a decision (just yet). I don't have to say yes this morning. I just have to show up at 8:30.
According to my Urologists I will have to completely heal and this should be completed later this summer. They indicated that radiation can cause problems with the healing of the new bladder connections and internal incisions. Therefore the soonest I should have radiation therapy is late August.
I think the reason I am uneasy is because of the speed of the meeting that has been arranged ... just one day! In the past 12 months every time I was quickly summoned to the doctors office, it usually meant I had to deal with some comfortable news.
Fear is a wonderful emotion. I seem to be super sensitive to this God Given emotion and this has caused me a lot of trouble in the past. Not today. I will once again just walk through the unknown.
More tomorrow.
