Waiting, waiting and more waiting. We just want the definitive diagnosis so we can get the treatment started. Everything is leaning towards a lymphoma, most likely Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Not a good one.
Friday was the bone marrow biopsy and it was quite painful for him. More bloodwork, a CT scan, 24 hour urine. He has been through it. Now Monday it is and Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. I am taking off work so I can drive him back from the hospital.
I went away for the weekend last weekend with a group of women from my book club to Smith Mountain Lake. I did not want to go.. at all. Gary insisted that I do. It was nice, but I never could completely relax and was always thinking about him. I came home on Sunday morning and he hadn't showered the whole weekend and never combed his hair. He was a walking zombie. I hate that I went away. He cried in my arms and said 'I wanted to grow old with you!'
He and I are telling our son and his wife tonight.
I hate this.
