Happiness Hangover
Now Bob and I are second guessing. Just because the surgeon said it isn't Hodgkins, does that really mean it's not? I mean, the pathology report for Hodgkins takes three to five days because of the elaborate staining procedures. So maybe he's wrong?
I'm calling the oncologist this morning to say, 'Dr. Schnur, do you think it's really true?'
I know this is just nerves, but it seems too good to be true...

Hot damn!!!!!!
And I was so looking forward to sitting with you at the Clinic and all . . .
Attending a breast cancer fundraiser tonight and thought I would be fighting off tears the whole time. Now I will have a big smile on my face and everyone will think I'm crazy! I'll deal!
I think he wouldn't have gotten your hopes up if he wasn't very sure - you were already prepared for the worst.
Think of it this way: weren't you due a little good news? I can understand your anxiety, but I doubt the doctor would give you good news if he wasn't really-o truly-o convinced that it was a sure thing.
Dr. Schnur expresses cautious optimism. This, from an oncologist is probably the equivalent of leaping for joy.
We are crossing fingers, toes, and all possible appendages!!
Oh Maureen,
Long time no read and somehow I tune in today. Rene & I are sending you good vibes that everything is going to be okay!
An oncologist being cautiously optimistic is DEFINITELY good news. I'm so glad things are looking better for you!
Dr. Schnur called today and said final results aren't in and the guys downtown are going to look at the lab results one more time on Friday, but he thinks I should buy a lottery ticket this week 'cause I'm a lucky girl.
So maybe I'll just go be happy.
Go, be happy. You can't only listen to the bad stuff the doctors say. You have to hear the good stuff, too.
This Dr. Schnur guy seems pretty smart, so maybe you should actually, you know, buy an actual lottery ticket.
