biopsies

When one has something biopsied, it's a little nerve wracking.  You surely don't want to have cancer.  I had another biopsy yesterday and I'd say there is a good chance it is cancer.  It's just a guess.  I don't think it's worse than 50/50.  The good news is it would be a relatively easy procedure for fixing it.  My brother has had a couple of bouts with mouth cancer and the last one involved quite a bit of medical intervention.  He has a great attitude though and handles these things very well.  What else would you expect from your big brother.  He has always been a hero of mine.  He is nine years older than me and so was pretty grown up when I was a kid.  He went into the Navy when I was about eight and that was when he left home for good.  I finally could sleep on the fold out couch that we shared by myself.  I still appreciate having a bedroom.  

So, today I feel a bit better about my health than before we saw Dr. Chepeha at Uof M.  He put us at ease with his charm and engaging manner.  He remembered Brooke and where she works.  There are always several young residents or interns around learning from him and he handles it all very gracefully.  I have confidence in him just like Uncle Junior did in his surgeon Dr. Kennedy.(Sopranos)

Blog you later, I'm following the Big Ten Basketball Tourney starting today.  Bye
