Cher,
You can undo your fingers now. I had to go in to my doctors office down the street to get my results from the biopsy. I knew if they would not tell me over the phone I was going to get some not great news. It seems that the lump the found on my Coccyx bone (tail-bone) was something called OSTEOSCARCOMA a malignant tumor. I have a surgery set up on Tuesday morning followed by 6 weeks of chemotherapy and e.g. radiation treatment. They gave me yet more medicine to start on. I guess the only good thing is that I will have very little CH pain for I will be on a butt load of severe pain meds. I'm not going to alone anymore I have 5 or 6 of my girlfriends that are going to come over tonight to set up times that the can keep an I on me. I will try to keep in touch on my laptop while I'm in the hospital but they don't like people to use them in the rooms. Thank you for all your cares you seem to radiate. I'll talk soon but now I have to go start dinner for my friends.(I was a chef Befor I got sick)
