my mom often told me "You could fall into a pile of shit and come out smelling like roses". Ah, sweet sentiments.
This came to mind this morning after my 2nd appointment with my Oncologist, Dr Z. He said so many positive things, i just wanted to hug him. He has done research on radiation therapy for soft tissue sarcomas and is considered to be an expert on this mysterious bugger, so he is my go-to guy for questions.
This knee-bunion is considered to be a "superficial sarcoma" because it is so close to the skin, as opposed to deeper in the tissue or bone. Because of its location and size, Doc said that it "Looks good", "We're not worried" and (this is when i took my pen out so i could get the quote just right)
"This should have no significant impact on life expectancy". How could such a clinical phrase ring so melodious?
No more questions after that, thank you very much. He left me with "Let's keep firing away at it."
