Printable wow wow wow... please tell me someone has done or is going to do a needle aspiration now? (that would do positive or negative on cancer cells yet, right?) grandma!!  She must have just been so sure in her mind that lump meant cancer that she didn't proceed any further?? I'll be scouring the internet too, now...
Yeah I don't want my mom to go to her appointments without me after this past winter. She probably doesn't really care for the coddling but I want to hear what the doctor says for myself. After an appointment where a doctor warned of a potentially life threatening sepsis infection she thought she had had a good check up.  She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay | |

It's something we mostly see in third-world countries, where surgery isn't an option. It looks awful. I'm sorry she's going through it.
 OK, I'm feeling that maybe someone needed to be there with her during all diagnosis and discussions because I'm questioning what the hell is really going on! I found out this weekend that the cancer diagnoisis did not include a biopsy! Is it common for a cancer tumor to burst? I've never heard so but that doesn't mean it's not common. About a month ago, my grandma was at her doctor and he tells her she does not have cancer, that she has a rare french disease (mustafa, ostafa, ustapha - can't find anything on the net that resembles the way she pronounced it) that only 1 in 2,000,000 people get and one of the ways he diagnosed that was the fact that her skin was turning black. Now that the tumor has drained, her skin is turning back to its normal hue.
What if this is just an infection gone wild? The other thing is that all my grandmothers pain is GONE. She said she has no more pain.  That has been my biggest concern, that she is in pain. Other than old lady aches and her back, her tumor isn't bothering her at. all.WTF? Some types of tumors can rupture, and they can cause surrounding tissue to become necrotic (dead). But yeah, what you're describing doesn't make sense. They don't drain and then heal. If she hasn't had a biopsy (which is fucking ridiculous, her doctor should be slapped), definitely wouldn't assume it's something malignant. Regardless, I'm really glad she's not in pain. "What's 'non-sequitur' mean? Do I look it up in a Fag-to-English dictionary?" | |
