newlifeinstpaulSome of you might not have found that funny. Sorry. I've got that gallows point-of-view only Six Mile and Schaefer can give you. When you find out how Truly Fucked Up life CAN be, it's amazing what you can laugh about.
AnyWAYYYY lemme summarize. Brenda found a something in one breast--which, as we all know turned out to be cancer. Coulda had a lumpectomy, opted for a double mastectomy. Pathology after the fact? Cancer in both of 'em.
Started chemo, started losing hair. Was told she might only thin out, but got freaked out by Falling Hairs Everywhere. Brendas will be Brendas SO she buzzed it all. Lo and behold! There's a couple moles on her scalp that weren't there before. One's a bit irregular looking.
She's going to the dermatologist today. 'Wish me luck!' She says.
Luck? Really? Given all the OTHER shit going on, what are they gonna do? Remove a small patch of skin from your scalp? Is that all? Are we done then? GREAT!!!
Fuck's SAKE man. I don't even know why she's trippin. She's going back on the table at least three more times AFTER chemo. Worst that can happen after this mole ain't about shit in comparison.
Maybe I'm jaded. Or saving my freakouts for the Genuinely Ugly Parts. Works for me, though. Either way.
