Happened Friday, 05/06/05
Setting: This morning, called my boss of nine years on cell. He is rarely in the physical office. The actual "workings" of the office are in my home and have been since January 2001. Day before yesterday I am diagnosed with breast cancer (after just discovering the lump two weeks ago). Yesterday I have a doctors appointment to find out what the future has in store for me and the surgery, treatments etc I will have to go through. My boss asked me to call him today to let him know what the doctor said yesterday...he told me this Wednesday.
Me: Explaining....letting him know what the doctor said and what stage my cancer is in at this point, the surgery that I have to have immediately and the treatments... chemo... radiation..... hormone therapy.... I will have to have.
My Boss: Stops me mid-sentence before I am done. "Will you be home later today?"
Me: "Well, yes, I believe so."
My Boss: "Would it be ok if I call you back later in the afternoon or maybe sometime this weekend?"
Me: "uhhh, well, yes, sure"
My Boss: "I'm playing golf right now and the guys are waiting for me."
Guess it takes all kinds in this world!
