Breast Cancer

[Wayne R]

The day after Marianne's surgery, I had to go for a medical exam for work.

Doctor looks at my file and says I've lost 22lbs in the last 2 years, why is that?

I say there are a lot of reasons why that happened and I don't know why you ask, you should be congratulating me from moving from almost obese to being in perfect form. She dropped the subject and asked me to go pee in a cup.....

I get back and she takes my blood pressure 3 different ways, just to make sure. Doctor says my blood pressure is up 140/80. Was I stressed coming to the exam? Told her no, if nothing, it was relaxing.

She asks, do you sleep well? I say no, not recently, my wife has breast cancer and yesterday they removed her breast, so maybe I don't sleep well and maybe I'm a little stressed.

I don't think she was waiting for that response. She stamped the form, fit to work, and said see you in 2 years.
