After waiting all weekend for the results of the biopsy, we had to wait all day on Monday for our appointment at the pulmonologist.
Jason's parents and grandma made the hour drive to be with us again for this life-changing appointment. We were all crowded into the exam room. The doctor came in. I felt bad for him knowing that no one wants to deliver bad news.
I think the doc was trying to build up to it gradually, however I didn't pay attention. I was only listening for one thing...what this mass was. Finally, he told us. It was Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Those words triggered a sorrowful gasp from Jason's Grandma. Instantly again tears welled into my eyes. I had no idea what Hodgkin's was, but it sounded horrible.
Knowing that we were not well versed in medical names of diseases, the doctor explained that the mass was indeed cancer, and we would need to meet with an oncologist.
