The Call

January 17, 2025

phone rang at 6:33pm on a Friday night
colonoscopy doc
pathology came back
You.
Have.
Cancer.
the bottom dropped out of my world
wtf and there?!
even he was surprised
which probably means it’s not horribly advanced
but…
Chemo
Radiation
lots of other words most of which I don’t remember
him: I didn’t want to let it wait until Monday
me: oh sure, so I can worry about it all weekend but not be able to do anything about it?
fuck fuck fucking fuck
