I got to the doctor early today, expecting a long wait.
He saw me right away, and forgot to look at my scans, so he left me in the examine room while he went to go check out the scans... And I waited, and I waited, and I waited. An hour later he comes back and said:
" I do not see any zigns of tumors." I said that good right? He stared at me and asked "half you had, any trouble vith your appen-dicks?"
I started to say no.. Then I remember and said "two or three years ago I was in serious abdominal pain, cold sweats, and could not stand up right, and when I did it felt like someone kicked me just below the stomach on the right side.. does that count?"
Vell, yes. You should half gone to zee emergency vroom rright a-vay!
Your apen-dick birst. Vhen I first zaw zee scan, I thought Zaire vas a tumor-ous mass unt your apen-dicks. But zee quality of our imager iz zuch that Vée could zoom in unt, see plane as day, zat sc-are tissue has sealed zee rupture. Every-zink looks fine.
So I was like well that good right?
He said,"not Zoe vast." Zee blood vork still shows cancer markers, unt you still half elevated vhite cell count. Vhat ziss means iz, you vill not need zee prostate biopsy. But you vill still need the your bladder checked vith a small camer-rah.
He went on to say more or less he has eliminated prostate cancer, and we narrowing down some sort of possible limphoma. He said in my particular case we need to wait, and see what develops in the next couple of months. He told me he could order a bunch of really expensive and painful test and we could know for sure inside a week, but time will tell us the same thing.
So he order another round of blood tests in two months and a re evaluation a week later. If my white cell count goes up ten thousand more points he will order a bone marrow biopsy.
But he said jokingly (as funny as Germans can be I guess) "vell, you beat zee HIV, a Ruptured apen-Dix, you may very vell beat zis as vell."
I said Lord willing.
I guess 'Vée vill see, Vée vill see."
