Tuesday -- Telling Family

Went to Dr. Bui today

He said that the biopsy came up negative but that the mass is big and that he is 99.9 percent sure the rest of it is cancerous.

He also told me I needed to call relatives over 45 years old to do colonoscopies. I called Fatima and told her. She called Najwa and Mom.

I called Nasri, he said not to do chemo. He said he saw how it destroyed his mother in law and a friend of his.

I didn't really like his reaction but I understood it.

I talked to Mom and she was really supportive.

The doctor also said that I may need chemo and that it would be painful.

I am still waiting for the call from the doctors who will tell me when  the four appointments start.

Elie Karam called me today and prayed for me.

Then Dwayne came and they wheeled me out after him. A guy from Iran wheeled me out who is married to an Lebanese lady. He speaks a little Arabic. He told me that Dr. Lee is one of the top five G.I. doctors in America. The Japanese assistant who also did my operation, which lasted three hour...
