savage love

Just had an appointment with my extraordinarily good-looking oncologist, Dr. Savage. She said my CT scan looked “very good”. The formerly titanic pineapple is now a mere 5cm x 3cm. Lemon or smaller!!! I called it!!! Woo!!!! Woo!!!! (Red, white and blue balloons drop from the ceiling). Dr. Savage sez: The lemon is probably mostly scar tissue (fibrosis). It may never go away completely, as the chemo only kills the evil, freedom-hating Hodgkin’s cells, not the moderate, open-minded fibrosis cells. I’ll get a PET scan after my chemo treatment to determine whether we need to zap the lemon with WMDs (this blog post is gonna be picked up by Carnivore, for sure. Hello RCMP database entry).

She also remarked that I have the smoothest head she’s ever seen (I surmise she was speaking in phrenological terms, where a smooth head indicates a mind unburdened by cares or worries - an accurate diagnosis).

    MADE my day! How wonderful. And how wonderful that your oncologist plugged in to the "smooth"ness of your sweet self. ;)
