Monday morning I am off to work, I get a call on my cell phone and don't recognise the number. It is doctor Shafonsky calling to let me know he has the results from the imaging and the report is that I do indeed have indicators of Lymphoma. The next step is to meet with a surgeon and arrange for a biopsy of a node to identify which form of Lymphoma it is.
I am shocked to say the least! So glad I told Lori and a couple of friends over the weekend because now it is real and I already have a few people to fall on. I tell my boss and the CIO at the office, both are incredibly supportive and made a huge difference on how my day went. I go home for the rest of the day to let Lori know and to wait for the phone to ring, "Don, we have you booked with Dr Hyashi this afternoon, bring a book as you might be waiting a while because he is going to fit you in between appointments." I have no idea what to expect from this appointment, turns out to be a pre-op exam and that we will need to wait a few weeks to have the surgery, which is scheduled for May 9th. almost 4 weeks away.
