2 days since I heard the diagnosis.
Biopsy on Tuesday, now it’s Saturday, doctor called and said cancer on Thursday.
One week without Rae, 8 days today.
Email dated Oct 6, re: appointment request. Reason for visit: I found a lump in my breast.
Oct 5, my discovery. 25 days since then. I know it has been there longer but don’t know how much longer. I know it is there and it is not benign.
5 more days until I speak to a specialist. 5 days to do nothing while it does something, living with me when I want it evicted.
11 days since diagnostic mammogram. Something is there that shouldn’t be there the doctor said.
For 15 days, I knew it was there but thought it was nothing. A new lump that is a part of my aging body. Sonogram said different.
For 9 days after, my mind calculated the odds of catastrophe as low. It’s something, but it’s probably not serious.
2 days ago it became serious. Rather it has been serious for I don’t know how long, more than 30 days, it just took me 24 days to figure that out. Am I moving too slowly? Is it faster than I am?
5 days to wait for more questions and no idea when I can eject this dark passenger.
5 days seems like a long time.
