well...fuck

Wanna make God laugh, tell him your plans. When I retired August 1, 2021, I had a ton of plans, and when I got the biopsy results on October 8th, the plans upended with a quickness, days filled with appointments with surgical oncologist and medical oncologist and imaging. Lots and lots of imaging. Initially the plan was surgery and radiation. Then the plan changed to be clinical trial with chemo, surgery and radiation. My tumor is too small for the clinical trial. Which is good news, no sign of lymph node involvement. Also good news.  Still scary shit though. I'm apt to lose my hair which is likely to grow back with a vengeance.
