This was me at my last checkup and the diagnosis was clean. What's it going to be this time?
So I got my results from yesterday's tests and they called me a fatty... sort of.

The ultrasound revealed some "fatty lymph nodes" that are *not* metastatic. The chest and hand x-rays came back clean as well so... drum roll please... Eric without a C it remains!

Brea & I waiting for Dr Lewis to give me the once over and proclaim my status.
Same hand, just a different day.
Kinda looks like a record in the left side ther doesn't it? I got the music in me baby.
This kinda looks like an alien face winking at  me... creepy. ultrasound...

Some titles we considered for this blog were: Giving Cancer the Finger C is for Cookie, I don't care what they say 172 + C So here is the back story. We noticed a weird bump on Eric's left middle finger many months ago. It took some prodding but he finally went to the doctor and was told it was just a ganglion cyst and that it should go away on it's own. Over the past 6 months or so we noticed that it was growing in size and eventually began to have minor discomfort which is not consistent with a cyst. After lots of harassment he finally listened to his wife and went to a hand specialist, that was on Tuesday Sept 7th. He was told that it was not a cyst but actually a tumor and that he should have it removed. So on Friday Sept 10th he went in to have "a professional stab him" as he likes to say. The tumor was sent in for testing, which I believe is pretty much always the case when some kind of growth is removed from your body. We weren't worried at all. ...

Day two felt productive so I can't complain. Thankfully thanks to Brea's side of the family we have some fantastic contacts and crashpads. Since we had an early appointment today, cousins Chris & Courtney let us stay with them at a place that you can literally see the hospital complex from in the distance. Cancer I can take, just don't throw me to Houston traffic too! Ok, that is a bit of an exaggeration but it was awesome to have that advantage in getting in on time without waking up at 5am again. Whereas yesterday was a bunch of small stuff (blood pressure, temperature, height, weight, and blood work) and waiting, today I got into some of the cool tests. I got my first ever CT scan and then a chest x-ray! It was actually really quick as best I could tell. I didn't even have to get into a gown and risk accidentally seducing any nurses with my chiseled abs and stunning features (Zoolander reference). The attendants were really nice and friendly and I wound up chatti...

Well folks, the time approaches. Although not totally light and airy, it's not horrible either. I've got dates set for the ray amputation of my leftmost most offensive finger. The world will be a better place. :) I'd tell you to set your DVRs but I'm pretty sure the surgery won't be on broadcast networks or cable. It's still going down though. November 15th. It is the same day that back in 1492 Christopher Columbus notes the first recorded reference to tobacco (speaking of cancer, kids, don't smoke or chew). Also in 1904, King C Gillette patented the Gillette razor blade (I don't know if he also invented or made scalpels...). But that's not all! On November 15th in 1960, the USS George Washington, the 1st sub with nuclear ballistic missiles, launched. To top it all off, it's also the day, in 1969, that Wendy's Hamburgers opened. Now add Eric getting a finger lopped off to the list in 2010. I say "lopped off" which really is quite cr...
