major health update
I think I mentioned that I was stressed, had no appetite, and was losing weight? Well, I think 21 June, when Kevin and I went to see Passing Strange was the last time I left the apartment, until I went to the emergency room on 27 June. I got out of the hospital yesterday, after transfusions of four units of blood, a biopsy, and assorted other procedures.
Cancer. Three smooth muscle cell tumors, two in the pelvis, the largest in the abdomen. Current plan is that I see the oncologist on Thursday, the surgeon on Monday, and the surgery should take place about 18 July.
I am alternately resigned and terrified. Various people (Kevin, Victor, Karen, the in-laws, Marci, Jerry, among others) have been offering help in many ways; the big worries are Soren, and money, since I can't work. Still, I go on.
