This morning I visited my radiation oncologist. My fear was that he would want to probe the area of my tumor. (New drinking game: Every time you read some variant of the word 'probe' in one of my postings, take a drink. You'll be drunk in no time.) Dr. M. did indeed wish to make a 'gentle' digital exam, 'gentle' turning out to be a relative term.
The good news: Dr. M searched with all due diligence for the tumor but could not feel it. This means that the radiation and the horrible chemotherapy was not in vain. It succeeded in shrinking the tumor. I still need to have surgery, but it's good to know that the therapies achieved their desired effect.
