When chatting with a friend, I realized...

Almost all the lesions are in "L" organs.... Liver, Lungs, Lymph node. Too bad the intestines were mentioned... maybe the actual lesion is on some "L" named portion.

Schroedinger's Cat and my liver tumor

Image
The short version of Schroedinger's cat experiment (note: only hypothetical cats were theoretically harmed with this experiment) Schrödinger's cat: a cat, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e. a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the cat. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the cat either alive or dead, not both alive and dead. This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other. (from Wikipedia.) This is what I'm NOT thinking about while I was on chemo. I don't know if the tumor is alive and growing or dying and decaying. I don't want to second guess... I tried it for a while.. it was torture. If I feel bad does that mean the tumor ...

Uncertainty... this will be an interesting day.

NOTE: this is mostly a whine. Sorry. Feel free to skip it. I have no idea how today is going to go. I need to get to Moffitt for an appointment with Dr. Chon. I still can't drive. I posted a request for help on Facebook, an acquaintance responded. I think she'll be driving me there, I'll have the appointment, and my roommate will pick me up after work. The last message was she was looking at where I live to see if it is hard to find. OR she won't be able to do it. I've got a neighbor who can drive me, he'll stay with me for the appointment, then drive back. Although, I'm seeing the oncologist/surgeon because I've popped some stitches. That shouldn't happened 4 weeks after surgery. I think there is infection behind the intact stitches. So they'll be looking at it, cleaning it out, resuturing it, and.... maybe keeping me-- depending on --- well, that's my fear. I need to admit that I've still been using the pain med...

I got trolled....

A few days ago I let myself be dragged into the fringes off the political debate.  I thought I was being neutral (basically pointing out that I'm tired of the name calling, and that I felt it was third grade playground tactics).  I let some stranger on the Internet push my buttons.  After writing several posts, and deleting them, I stopped, changed into pajamas and went to bed. Those flamewars are never won.  And retreat is the best option.
