The Story: Part 16: The Oncologist

Terry and I returned home that night a little unsettled. Why? When do we start all this? How long will it take? According to Dr. Jennifer, I would start Chemotherapy right away. My mind was a big blob...Not sure which way to turn or what to think? The phone rang about 8:30 p.m. it was the oncologist.
"Hi, Gloria this is Dr. Nathan. I just got a call from Dr. Jennifer. She explained your case to me. I want to make sure you're doing alright. I had an appointment scheduled for Monday. But, I would really like you to come in tomorrow afternoon if at all possible."
I thought, "What? A doctor calls my house to see if I'm okay?" "Man, I must be really sick or he really cares." I'm going with the second, he must really care.
Dr. Nathan visited with me for about five minutes. I told him I 'm a tough ole' gal. My mother was my idol and if she can go through what she went through I can go though this. This is just one more stepping stone, I will not go easily!! I plan on being here a very long time!! --more to come--
