The return to normal life was not too disheartening. Sunday, I felt a little exhausted. I took my wife out for a nice lunch because I thought I was going to a concert in Saratoga with my son. I was too tired to make the trip, however. Monday was a normal day of tennis and work. But today was different. I had to have a needle biopsy of the mass in my left thigh. I discovered this lump on June 20, and have been watching ever since. Today was the day to do something about it. I don’t know the results yet, but the procedure was not too painful, and I was able to work when I got home. Even now, the pain is not too bad.
