Since I was wide awake and bloody tailed, the nurses and doctor kept remarking on how “well” I was tolerating the procedure. In short- the procedure was removing a piece of bone tissue to examine the cancer- and to determine why it’s resisting my medication. How, would they “get” the tissue? … It’s funny, since I was alert- I learned then and there it was to be extracted via a very long needle… after the doctor and some other masked man drilled a small hole in my ass to the bone.
