We found out my Mom had colon cancer. Three weeks ago, I went with her for a consultation with the Doc who would do the surgery. In his office were all kind of things that were piled up on shelves and a couple of tables. He said they were gifts from some of his patients. I asked him about a small box call I could see beside him. He picked it up and made some awful squawks on it. I asked him if he wanted me to show how it works and he handed it to me. It made the sweetest yelps I ever heard on a box call. I was impressed.
Fast forward to today. We went back for her one week followup from surgery. Which went great btw. Cancer was confined to the colon and no chemo needed. I have been thinking of that call since day one. When the Doc was finished with the meeting, I asked him if he knew the brand of call , which he didnt. I told him I really liked it and wanted to buy one. He went back to his office and brought it to me. It is custom made with the words Trace Creek and two turkey feathers and a few turkey tracks etched on the paddle. I asked him if I could take a pic. He said yes, but when I reached for my phone, he changed his mind. He handed it to me and said it was mine. I tried to decline because they were gifts to him but again he said to keep it. Told me to kill a big one . I told him with sincere thanks, I would send him a pic if I did.
This is where the story turns back to not so good.
Mom also has cancer in some lymph nodes in her neck which migrated from lip cancer. The colon cancer delayed any treatments for that. We go to a consultation on the 21st to see what the next steps are. Fingers crossed!!!!
