Don’t you, forget about me…

Don’t you, forget about me…

I must apologize, it has been a long time and many people have contacted me saying… well yelling “WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON???” There is no easy answer to that question, and truth be told, the answer is not a short one neither. I am currently having my sandwich with a spoon or two full of Mayo, but honestly that will come in the following message. For now I say to you, yet another doctor (or doctor’s office) has slipped up. My lovely brother introduced me to a wider variety of music and movies than my parents did, and for this I will be grateful for a few more years… but seriously, does every doctor’s office staff people with simple minds?

In August of 2009, a few months after my exchange of blows with cancer, I was referred to a second geneticist who would essentially search to see if the cancer was hereditary… would ultimately let us know if we should worry that since my mom had colon cancer at a young age, I had it at a young age, should we worry that the kids would be in danger at a young age. August … 2009.

With everything else going on, we forgot about that test. Just imagine what must be going on in one’s life when a test like this is forgotten, because the fish you are frying are so much bigger!!! Well that doctor called last week and let me know that someone’s in a whole heap of trouble, but the good news, there are no markers indicating that the cancer is hereditary, so the kids are safe! Thank God!

August 2009.

I am concerned about our medical system, even more so since arriving in good ol Minnesota. Yea yea, I will get to that in the next post I say (in a really good English accent). How does this happen you might ask? Well seems that the result came back in and the person just put the report in my file and refilled it without showing the doctor. Grrrr. The kids are safe

They also mention that the other tumour found in my pathology from the operation may be linked to other health concerns like kidney disease etc.  Hmmm, I should track down my geneticist and ask him about this… I am trying, but that too is for another post. Are you keeping track of my I Owe Posts… IOPs nice.

I’m allowed to have an opinion about any and all of this… my opinion is that they are not fully concerned about what I am going through. I know that they know that I am sick, without a doubt, but I also think they don’t think this is as urgent a matter as I think it is. That’s not cool. Don’t do that… reducing my illness like that is simple minded, I ain’t trying to call anyone stupid, if that were my intention, I would have come out and just said so. No, you are not stupid, but these things keep happening to me, and for that reason and that reason alone I have granted myself the right to say, if YOU have reduced my illness to THAT which doesn’t deserve immediate attention, you ARE Simple Minded… and I plead with you… Don’t You, Forget about me!!!

I know it’s a stretch, but I had to sneak my brother’s favourite movie’s theme song in somehow.
