Good morning friends.

I'm at the cancer treatment center this morning for Y's initial treatment meeting where I will learn what I can contribute as a member of her support team.

Since my last post, I have had one phone conversation with Y during which she told me about the ER visit and how things went. What a shit show. On top of the actual diagnosis, the experience, *especially* with the doctor (a doctor) was comically horrible. She told me how he asked her if she wanted the sugar coated version or the direct version; she chose direct. Then that sentence, and some raised voices, and some swearing by the doctor at his balky dictation equipment, and at one point him telling her to "shut up!"...

I am not looking forward to meeting this doctor.


Anyhow, she's recovered from his assholeness and we have this meeting today.

Also, importantly, thank you all for being my friends. You all mean a lot to me, and so do your words of support. Thank you.
