Break Out the Razor

So, this week I met with Dr. Kwak(pronounced with an "aw"). As it turns out, he is the head of the lymphoma department. I got the best Dr. at the best cancer center there is. He ordered a few more tests. It seems they get worse as I go.
The first test was a pelvis/abdomen/head/neck CT scan. They made me drink two huge bottles of some nasty stuff, gave me an IV and did something else that I will spare you the details of. That had me feeling pretty sick for a while.
The next mornig was my bone marrow biopsy. Luckily, I was sedated for this one. I won't lie. It was pretty nice. They took two toothpick sized marrow samples from the back of each of my hips. I'm still pretty sore from that one. They also did a heart scan.
Dr. Kwak also informed me that I'm looking at about six months of chemo and radiation after that. Once the hair starts to go I'll need some hat advice. Maybe I'll have a poll. What I won't do is try to hang on to what little hair is left once it starts to go.
The only spiritual thought that I'm having is that we all need to remember what a personal God we serve. He desires to be close to us and give of Himself. That's what love does-give. That's why he created us- to give His love to us.
