As the Chemo Drips...

After beating ovarian cancer once, I've been re-diagnosed. Here I'll share my journey of chemotherapy and surgery including the ups and downs, laughter and tears and everything in between.

The FBI arrives

It's been a week since I've had surgery and I'm feeling better and stronger everyday.  I still have no appetite, thou the Dr said one of the drugs I'm taking suppress it.  Getting by eating stale cheerios and yogurt!  Losing a few pounds isn't all that bad.  I'm sure once I finish up the drugs I will be eating again.  So onto the FBI part of the story.  I was starting to make zucchini bread for a good friend when my phone rings.  Not looking at the number, I answer. " Hello, may I speak to Marcia Bolam please"?  "This is she"  "Hello, my name is XXXXX from the Federal Government, you were a patient of Dr. Fata and recently left"?  "Ahhh, yes"  "We would like to talk to you if possible".  "Ok, you mean on the phone"?  "No, we would come to your house if that's ok...you live at --------we can be there in half an hour".   "Oh, ok".   Holy crap, I ran to the garage where Bob was working on a project and told him the FBI was coming.  Not sure if he believed me at first. So then I did what any woman would do, I grabbed a dust rag and started wiping down the coffee table and furniture and throwing shoes in the closet etc!!!  Then flew upstairs to find some clothes that I could wear instead of p.j's or sweats, brush my hair and teeth and try to look presentable.  Next thing the doorbell rings and there they are...the men in black!  They held out their ID and badges, shook our hands and came in and sat down.  One wrote while the other "interviewed" us.  They were more than interested in the blog and even asked if they would have a chapter. ( Here is is guys! ) The interview lasted 2 hours, we went all the way back to 2008 when I first started seeing Dr. Fata, up until the present time.  Halfway thru, the one agent said, "we should of come here first".  I think they were impressed by all the info we gave them.  It was pretty cathartic going thru the past, but also sad bringing up some memories.  They asked if we would be willing to talk to the attorney general in Detroit and we said yes.   So will have to wait and see if we hear from them again.  So the zucchini bread that was started to be made at 10:00a.m finally got finished around 3:30!!  Will keep the post up-dated at things happen.
