Decisions, Decisions

So, for the last year and a half I’ve been so busy working, getting Ammon off to college, helping him get ready for his mission, and keeping up with Sam’s activities, that I haven’t even thought about the “C” word.  The last time I visited with my oncologist he overwhelmed so much that I think I totally blocked everything out and went on with my life.

He suffers from a severe case of adult ADD! He makes your head spin round and round. I never really understood anything he said. His office staff always seem angry and the surroundings were very depressing. Anyway, after two visits with him I decided I was done. He never really told me to do anything other than stop eating chocolate. That was like asking me to stop breathing!

I had my check up with my primary doctor and she wasn’t impressed  with his reports and as a result referred me to another oncologist.

So on Wednesday I went to see Dr. Addo and I love him! He’s the complete opposite. Very calm and quiet demeanor. Very smart and careful to explain everything I needed to know.  He’s such a very kind man. Love, love him!

I still feel somewhat overwhelmed but at least I understand what I’m overwhelmed about. He didn’t give me any recommendations because he’s consulting with three of his doctor friends as to what to do with my case.  I should hear back from in about a week. In the meantime I have some things to think about.  I now feel like I’m in good hands!

You are in the Lord's hands...those are the best hands to be in. I love you and am still trying to figure out a way to sneak you into Ron and Kathy's car. I wish you were here.

Hoping that chocolate comes back on the "good" foods list for you;-)

I used to work with Dr. Addo when I worked at St. A's. He's a great doc. Think about you lots, hope your doing well! ((HUGS))
