The irony of being normal

I was with my oncologist last Tuesday morning.

All the tests were normal, she said. And that gives me a go signal for my first session of chemotherapy.

So, that's the irony of being normal at this point. Normal results mean that I can go for chemotherapy. And it would have been better if normal is when your doctor says you can go home now and there's nothing to worry about.

But this time, it's different.

I was asked when I wanted to have my first session. She said it can be done this week or next, my call.

I thought for a while... then told her: Monday next week.

Because I want to go to Kamay ni Hesus first before that.

Monday, then.
