The Surgeon - 8/19/2010

Thursday, my birthday, Chris and I go to meet yet another doctor.  He is Eric Lentsch- an ENT surgeon, specializing in head, neck cancer- thyroid, parathyroid minimally invasive surgery.  He is one of the best in his field in the country, and performs sugeries such as mine 4-5 times a week.  He is very confident, but extremely gentle and holds a very down to earth demeanor... especially for a surgeon.  He explains everything in great detail.  I dont even think I had any questions for him by the time he was done talking.  We would be receiving a call from his scheduler the next day to confirm date of TT. 

This was the most relaxed that I have been in 3 months!  I finally had the closure I needed to know what was going on.  The waiting, not knowing, wondering, worrying... it is now over.  We can now deal with that word... that nasty nasty word... CANCER!  Yes, its very curable... its NOT a death sentence... but the word alone is disgusting!

Happy Birthday to me......
