Update

I've received so many calls tonight that my phone has gone dead twice. I appreciate it.

My doctor has "had a change of heart", as the nurse put it. The story is longer, but this will do for now.

I am going to Edmonton on the first plane in the morning and will be having the test on Friday. I should have the results before 3pm (with all of the usual disclaimers about the need to take a closer look at the pictures, etc., etc.). The capitalist is also going to be in Edmonton this weekend, so we'll be getting together.

On a related note, this blog is going Pink for October. This will not be a secret message about my health, it will be part of an Internet-based effort to encourage people to learn more about breast cancer. When you come here on October 1, the site will look a bit different.
