There's a small gift on my desk when I get to the office... it's a blank
journal from Diane. Looks like other folks think it's a good idea to chronicle this.
I walk with Jeff and feel close to tears. Must be another ladybug nearby. We agree to meet at Kulshan Brewery after my
appt.
Kaufman runs 90
minutes behind schedule... But, he then spends 90 minutes with Neil and I. He is kind, thorough, and a teacher at
heart. I find out that my cancer is a
hard one to detect, so it's no wonder that it got missed on my last
mammogram. Think of ivy growing on a
picket fence. Instead of growing as it's
own object, it instead grows on existing structures. So it just appeared as a thicker structure instead of something new.
I'm mentally drained by the time I leave, so meeting up
with friends for a beer is a welcome distraction. We head to Kulshan and meet up with
Jeff. Mike Hampton is there and so is
Drew and his wife, Rachel with their new little girl. I do fine until I try to
tell Drew and Rachel what's going on and then I choke up. I just can't say the words, "I have
cancer". So I make Jeff tell them
instead.
