When negatives are positive

News, friends!

The results of the genetic tests are fully in, and there are no anomalies on my genome! This means that I am definitely a candidate for lumpectomy rather than anything more radical. I have a call into the surgeon's office and will soon have a date.

And second, the endoscopy went well, everything in there is fine, there's no explanation for the anemia, but at least I can head for chemo knowing that I am starting with (as it were) a clean slate. Also, my upper insides are a prettier shade of pink than my lower insides. Whoo-hoo!

The procedure was done at a local hospital, and I have to say that it was not a 100% good experience. Leaving aside some subjective stuff, a prep room and a procedure room where there were paper scraps and EKG "stickies" on the floor does not inspire confidence. But, it's over.

I'm feeling a bit too quaggly to have deep thoughts on any subject, so that's all for now.
