May 18, 2012

CT scan clear. I was sitting in the doctors office at the cancer clinic reading my bible on my iphone, reading matthew chapter 6-


25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry(AC) about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.(AD) Are you not much more valuable than they?(AE) 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life


and my oncologists walks into the room.  I say, hi Dr Murray, he says, hello Gilbert, I am looking for a tool for another patient, I will be right with you.   35 minutes later, of not worrying, an intern or a resident walks into the room.  This is the conversation

intern- hello gilbert

me- hi

intern- i am DR Craig, i am a resident, so how are you

me- good

intern- thats good, now how have you been feeling

me- tell me what's on the report

intern- what, I er...

me- tell me what is on the report

intern- uh, well, we are still waiting for , see the...

me- am i good or not, was it a clear scan?

intern- we are still waiting for the report, but your bloodwork is good, no raised levels of tumor markers, but we are still waiting for the report

me- so can you go get the report and then we can chat

intern- uh, yeah, i can do that but the scan is clear, nothing unusual on it, just waiting for the actual written report from radiology

me- ok, well thank you, you should tell the patient he is fine first, then you can ask me all the questions you want

intern- yes of course, let me check for the report and i will be back

me- that would be great, why don't you do that

25 more mins...

my regular doc walks in- Gilbert you are fine, things are looking great, you look great, 1 year, congratulations, we won't even need to see you until the end of the summer.  ok

me- yup, thanks Doc.

And Scene...haha, never a dull moment


1 year cancer free- Praise God.
