Doc Death and His Friends

We had another appointment with Doc Death today. I should explain who the Death guy is so here we go. Dr. Death is the chemo doctor who when we first visited him, scared shitless, showed us the death chart. This happened after I met this poor lady out in the awaiting room who told me she lost her husband to cancer and now herself had cancer and Doc Death was their physician. The poor thing then asked if her hair was on straight and I just about cried right there. The whole place felt like death, smelt like death and the people looked like death walking. And, this is the place I have to go to get chemo??? No freakin way!!!!

We walked in and Doc Death back up nurse popped in and took all the history down and such. She was OK but I just didn't want to be there, I feel fine, I'm not sick..wake me up! Well, after that in walks Death, He made his presentation and told us stuff we didn't want to hear. He said things we didn't know and information we needed but couldn't accept. Death then pulled out the death chart. If we did nothing, death! If we did a little, there would be death but less then if I did nothing. This went on till he reached the bottom of the chart and showed me, if I did everything and I mean everything, less death. Less death but still death. We went home and the blanket went back over my head!

Everything he told me I thought was crap. Had to stop working for 6 months??? CRAP! Chemo and all the side affects??? CRAP! Crap, crap and more crap. I made a call and planed to head back to work, at least, my life was going back to normal even if I had to do it myself. My arm and back hurt so bad but I was driving that hilo even if it killed me before the cancer..hahahaha.

Next..Doc Death and the Test Results...That's all for now, I need a nap...

Next time, instead of doing an "in your face" dance at the nurse, just grab her and hump her... that would be cool!
