Seneca:
How did you find out that you got cancer?
Erin: It’s so funny, when I was in college I just felt a little lump in my neck while I was in the
bathroom one day, and got it checked out by a team doctor, and then a couple years later got
it checked informally again, just went for a physical. They both said, “It’s probably no big deal,
you don’t have any symptoms for anything that seems questionable,” So we never did a test
for anything. Then come to find out, we had left it in there, and it went on, and it metastasized
to my lymph nodes, and just got to be an emergent situation. By the time I found it, it was
time to have surgery. The doctor always laughed because in the moment where he told me
he knew what it was, he said, “Hey what are you doing tomorrow? We need to have surgery.”
I was like, “What are you talking about we’re going to have surgery?” It was just the shock of
all shocks, I think, for me.
