The surgeon is a friend. I have worked on his computer at various times. I worked in the same office for several years. We have always had a friendly relationship. The business nature of the event was obvious when he walked into the patient room. He broke the news, "You have a very large tumor in your cecum. It is probably cancer." The doctor explained that we needed to get in and get it out. Surgery is scheduled for ten days from now. There is not a lot more to say about the physical aspect of the situation. More will be known after the surgery.
I have known several people who have had cancer. I have learned from their behavior how I wish to act. I do not know how my mood will change as the journey moves forward. It is my desire to handle the current day and not get too far ahead of the moment. Life is very fragile. We seem to think we are immune to death until we are confronted with the possibility. I know enough to know that I do not want to be a burden. I do not want to be on a downer trip bringing everyone with me. I plan to be positive. I am still strong. I need to allow God to empower me when I grow weak.
We will take care of a few things prior to surgery that need attention regardless of the situation. Funeral contingency plans and finances are at the top of the list. My wife and I should let the children know of our wishes. We do not have a lot. I do not know how much we will have when the time actually arrives. It really does not matter. Everyone arrives into the world with nothing. We all leave with nothing. We just need to make today a good day, a productive day, a day that brightens the world of others.
