Definately not a cyst....

fibroids and polyps

Not a uterus thing. (this person was born without one)

Grew quickly from non palable to half the size of a ping pong ball with a week or 2.

Sounds like a tumor, but many are benign and removed easily.

Thanks GW, that's what I've been starting to think.

I guess that in my mind tumor = cancer.

Oh well, the doctor shall be called in the morning, and we'll go from there.

Thanks

I was born without one of those thingies, too.

but I have had benign cysts removed from my personage...

good luck.

hey to roland...

Well so, it's being removed tomorrow, we'll find out a day or so after that.

yeah my husband had this big round thingy on his side. He had day surgery where they removed it and drained it. Not sure what the heck it was - he called it a mass - my non-medical guess the same thing as a benign tumor.

best to you both - hopefully just an oddball sorta thing like my hubby.

Thanks
It's in his breast.

He had something a few years ago, had a mamogram and it was determined to be nothing, and it disappeared on its own.

This one came up suddenly, he had another mamo and sono, it's got to come out.

At first I wasn't worried (beyond the minimum), now I am.
I'm not working again, so that stress started this worry.

It's how I roll.

Sorry to hear this, chai. Will send posivibes your way for a speedy and uneventful process.

Hand to you and your husband (not that you want hands grabbing at you, I mean I'm saying.) I'm figuring larger version of last time, but of course I don't know.

Well, we're home, and everything's ok.
the doctor came out and said the pathologist took an initial look and saw nothing and according to her "I've very rarely seen him change his mind upon closer examination"

So we get the final results in a day or too, but in her words "it was totally benign"

Those are beautiful words.

Awesome news ---- now I don't feel bad about talking with poop with you...

I'm so happy for you and your husband! One less thing to worry about!


I'm sorry to read of this. I hope you can find something else soon.

oh, a btw story....

a few different nurses had come through to get info and stuff. All nice people, professional.
Then, right before the anestesiologist came by, his nurse came in. All I said to her was "hi" when she introduced herself. She was a real chatty cathy, eventually asking Wally where he was from, because she couldn't place his accent. He told her Illinois. She said "Oh! you have a much nicer accent than other people I've met from there.... .....he said "I was raised on the border of Kentucky" She asked me where I was born and I said New Jersey....so three words now. She said "You don't sound like you're from New Jersey. I said I moved from there when I was 20.....She wasn't listening and launched into how she accidently ended up in New York via a diverted flight (of course meaning in NYC, I mean, where else is there in the small state of New York ) and she said "This man must have been from New Jersey (we all sound alike too) and went on how he was directing people where to go "and it was just like being in a half hour situation comedy! He sounded so funny!"

So I of course replied, a la Joe Pesce "Funny how? Like he was a clown?"

Wally snorted into his hospital gown, and she just went on, oblivious.
