Wednesday, May 31

Christi and I realized that the next day was a big day, so we decided to go the movies to get out mind off the coming news. We went to go see “The Da Vinci Code” with Tom Hanks, which was pretty good. Then something strange happened. As we were walking out, we ran into Dr. Thomas, who is my primary physician. Talk about a coincidence! We chatted with him for a minute about several subjects, but of course my visit for the next day came up. He asked me if I had spoken to Dr. Jervis, and I said I had not. He told me good luck tomorrow. That is the point I knew I had cancer. It was in his eyes. He did his best to conceal it, but I knew. Christi and I said our goodbyes and went to the Tahoe. Christi saw it too because she was crying when we got into the truck... She tried to be so positive about this for so long, but I think that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. As we drove home, there was not too much to say. Bill and mom were watching Addi, and I told them what had happened. Mom was of course positive, but I went to bed that night thinking I had confirmed cancer.
