The Phone Call

"I will call you on either Thursday or Friday and let you know the results," Dr. Iyengar said after my biopsy was completed.

No call on Thursday morning; finally at 4:15 pm a call from her office assistant, Jose:

"We need to schedule a time for the doctor to discuss the results with you," he said.  "When can you come in?"

Tomorrow, April 25, 10 am.  

That phone call stopped me in my tracks.

Apparently the results of the biopsy could not be discussed over the phone.  They required an appointment.

Clearly the report involved cancer.

I did some reflection for the rest of the evening.  

I wondered what stage the cancer was--it sure seemed big on the ultrasound screen.
