The News: The Story

Today we went to the doctor at 10:00 for an 11:30 appointment. For some reason, I had 10 in my mind. So when we got there, they said they weren't very busy, and that we could see the doctor early. But then he was called over to the hospital and we thought, 'Hey, why not start chemo, and catch him on the flippy.'
That's when the nurse practitioner told us we shouldn't because the CT had mixed results, and she wasn't certain that the doctor would want to proceed with the same drugs.

Here's my imagination
:: In other news, local Marine dies tragically of heart failure after receiving bad and unexpected results from his wife's CT scan. ::

I'd had my hopes WAY up; I couldn't help it.

When the doctor finally returned, he said, "Well, the radiologist said the tumor in your mid gut decreased in size, but several other lesions [in your liver] are more prominent."

More prominent??? That's not a simile of the larger, bigger, more developed group. It's a simile of 'more pronounced.'
That means 'showed up mo' betta.' Which could mean Alison drank more of the contrast this time.

::News break, local Marine pronounced dead earlier has been resuscitated by his wife's Syrian oncologist. All is well in the world.::
