Well we’ve waited since Monday to hear the results. I was told to phone in the afternoon. So I figure to phone at three o’clock.
I phoned at three the receptionist said the doctor wasn’t there but would phone me back.
I phoned again at four o’clock. The receptionist said didn’t the doctor phone you? I said no. She looked for the doctor but he still wasn’t there. She said I’ll get the doctor to phone you back.
I phoned for the third time at four forty five and finally talked to the doctor. I had gotten a different receptionist and she said probably the test results haven’t come back yet. I said Dr. S said they would be in today and I’m not waiting over the weekend.
Finally I talked to a doctor. It wasn’t Dr. S but I couldn’t remember her name. She read Alex’s file and told me a lot of medical jargon. I asked her what it meant. She said Alex’s LP wasn’t normal but was normal for being on Chemo and no cancer cells appeared in the LP or BM test. Alex would stop all his treatment but would still take Bactrim. She said Alex could resume most activities which included swimming. She also said Alex would have to be checked regularly and thoroughly checked as well.
Boy was that a relief this week has been extremely difficult waiting to hear the news. Especially when Dr. S said if he phoned on Wednesday it would mean Alex would have to under go more treatment and the cancer cells were back. So when Wednesday came I couldn’t wait to get out of the house. Then on Friday I thought maybe Dr. S forgot to phone and it might be bad news. It’s incredible what runs through your mind.
I told Alex the doctor said the tests were okay and he could go back to swimming. Alex said ALRIGHT! He sure has missed going swimming the last three years.
