Timeline

It is almost one month since I started walking with a lymph. Here's the timeline:

July 6th -- I get an MRI to look for a bad disk in my back.
July 7th -- A bad tumor is found instead. A solemn doctor intones the word "cancer".
July 14th -- First meeting with the oncologist.
July 15th -- Biopsy.
July 16th -- CT Scan.
July 17th -- First Chemotherapy treatment. Twelve hours at the hospital having stuff dripped into me.
July 27th -- Found a blood clot in the right leg.
August 1st -- Shaved my perfect head for all to see.

That's a lot of stuff in a short period of time. I hope August is less hectic.
