The Red Brick Times

Most people heard that Linda had some discouraging news in the past months- that there appeared to be tumors in her brain. She had an appointment with her oncologist last Thursday, and was bubbling with delight when she called to relay the results of the consultation with me! My version of what the doctor said goes something like this- " Hell, I don't see any changes from the last scan to this one- and if I had to point out any, I'd say that things look improved! You don't have any evidence of cancer in your brain! Shoot, you don't even have any symptoms! We're not going to treat this, because I don't believe there's any cancer cells IN there!" Linda and I decided that the day the first scan was taken, she must have just had a really bad case of dandruff : ) Linda also relayed that she mentioned to the Doctor(s) that she was taking large doses of Ibuprofen to manage her pain. One Doctor said there were "unproven" indications that ibuprofen is a cancer fighter! (I'm going to do some research on that for her.) Her spirits are (quite obviously) much improved. Let's all share in Linda's good news!
