BillH: When ‘Sweetie’ Finds A Lump

We tend to be of the sort that does better with a list, or a map, or at least a visible path stretching out ahead.  So far, we’ve had none.  Details are not forthcoming, so far… “the surgeon will explain it all to you on Monday Wednesday” is not reassurring.  Note to the medical profession: telling a woman she has breast cancer, then telling her the surgeon will tell her all she needs to know next week is a very difficult thing.  Finishing that news by saying “we’re so VERY sorry” doesn’t reassure your patient that she has a “routine lumpectomy” ahead.  I doubt my wife is different from other human beings in reading the worst into that last line/ BillH , Free In Idaho!

Question: Have you ever been in bill’s shoes — and had to wait for possible bad medical news?
