Past tense

Met with my oncologist today. She says I "had" breast cancer and always referred to it in the past tense.


And you know what? She's right. The biopsy showed complete excision. So I don't have breast cancer, I had it.

Still, I need to learn the outcome of this morning's MRI to be sure it's not hiding anywhere else. And I still need to have that additional surgery, and radiation, and five years of drug therapy to make sure it never comes back. Beats having the disease, right?

And Dave got a new job today... icing on the cake.

More later.
