Lump

It's been a long, long while after the initial diarrhoea of entries and updates. I've been occupied by a 1.6cm by 0.9cm lump recently.

I discovered it on 19 Oct and immediately warning signs started like the lights on top of the police car or ambulance. The first time I discovered a lump like this was way back in 1990 (or was it 1991 ?).

The next morning, I brought Toby to see the doc; follow-up for his chest pain on 1 Oct. I went to see the doc too. She gave me a referral to see Dr Yong WS at SGH. I got an appointment on 24 Oct.

First visit to Dr Yong - tests, tests and more tests. Review was on 31 Oct where the results didn't seem too good and more tests were arranged. Review today was ... atypia cells. According to Yahoo, "Atypia means that the cells look different from normal cells." The tests neither confirms that there are cancer cells nor confirms that there are none. Doc calls it a 'fence-sitter'.

And so, I have an op scheduled on 12 Nov. Not day surgery but if all goes well, I can go home within a day. Not sure what are the differences but if the doc says so, do so, no?

Told mum, she wanted more details but I don't have them. I read (or tried to) the medical report. Only words I understood were : a, an, the, is ... and the like, you get the picture.

So, if I'm away for a while again, you know why.

Keep me in your prayers!
