I was feeling kind of flattered when my two sisters practically broke out in a fight over who was going to take me to my next doctor’s appointment. How sweet of these real life Florence Nightingale’s to insist on holding my hand through another uncomfortable medical procedure. Yeah, right! The real truth reared its ugly head when I caught sister Lessy texting other sister Juana, “This place is crawling with hunks…” And by “hunk” I am pretty sure she was referring to the surgeon who had just inserted a drainage tube into my incision.
While having to see so many doctors for my treatments is not a fun part of having cancer, the fact that they are easy on the eyes, does make it a perk. With doctors nicknamed the likes of Dr. McDreamy, Dr. McSteamy, and Buns of Steel, (named by my sisters, I might add) it sometimes feels like I am in a real life episode of Grey’s Anatomy!
Tip: Just because you have cancer doesn’t mean you can’t LOOK.
P.S. I received some good news at my last appointment with my surgeon. The lymph nodes which were removed during my mastectomy in January all tested NEGATIVE for cancer! (In July, 3 of the 4 removed for testing did have cancer.) It is a baby step in my recovery, but a step in the right direction. Thank you God, and thanks to everyone who has prayed for me.
Great news on the nodes!
As for the cute docs…pics please. I’m sure you could get them as you and your sisters sound very resourceful. (You could probably even find a way to get them to take their shirts off….just a suggestion)
Negative Nodes!!!! That’s what I like to hear!! Every little bit of positive change is a GOOD thing. So happy for you!
So funny! You could always take the two of your sisters along! Congrats on the good news! Every bit of good news makes you feel better. Love reading your blog posts!
Good news! 🙂
Congrats about the nodes, awesome news. When I had the surgery the anesthetist was very handsome, I even told him so. Yes, I still look!
Yay!!! So happy for you! Thanks for sharing the great news 🙂
Florence,
That is beautiful news!

Adorable piece! Keep looking–doesn’t everyone say to enjoy the beautiful things in life? Best, Candida
