We waited over two
hours to see the physician at Mount Sinai yesterday. We were told there had
been an “emergency.”
That reminded us of a
long-ago emergency of sorts. In the months before our daughters left for
college, we gave each of them a credit card to use in case of an emergency. If
memory serves, Dina did not even wait to get down to the University of Maryland
before her first “emergency”: a pair of
Doc Maartens boots. This memory still brings a smile, because it was so Dina! What makes it even more
heartwarming is the near certainty that her older daughter will have a similar "shoe emergency" someday.
I suspect that the
doctor we later saw was dealing with a true medical emergency in an oncology
patient yesterday. But it was so much more entertaining to think about those
simpler times.
Meanwhile, we are heading back to
MSKCC this morning to meet with their medical oncologist. We hope to reach a
decision about which treatment and which team within the next day or so.
Love,
Rebecca
