"It's Just A C.T. Scan."

I asked Layne this morning if he wanted me to go with him for his appointments. His response was, "It's just a CT scan." I had to chuckle. I think he's the only person I've heard make that statement. He said it would be mostly sitting around and then I couldn't go into the room for the actual scan anyway. I thought he might want some company. But, that only comes at the price of not being here at home and he's sensitive to the fact that we're starting 'school' today. (I had to put it in quotes because we're a bit relaxed about it right now. We all need to ease into it. Although, I'm excited about some of the things we'll be doing this year. But, that's a different blog all together...so, time to move on.)
Layne's scan will be today and then he'll discuss the results with the oncologist tomorrow. We'll see if  I  get to be there for that or not. I like being there when he gets results back from his tests because it seems to sound different coming from the oncologist than it does from Layne. He'll describe it more in matter of fact scientific terms. Somehow I feel like there's more sympathy if it comes from Dr. Guerrido (and his compassionate nurse). It's almost as if they realize that what they're saying is pretty serious stuff. And, he always wants to be sure we understand what he's telling us. Layne understands quite well. (He's always been good about explaining his scientific world in simple terms.) Sometimes he misses the human aspect of it. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
