medical stuff
I’m so sick of my body growing tissue and cysts and lumps where it’s not supposed to, and every time you have to go and show it to a GP who goes uhmm erm hmmm and then, if you’re lucky, you get an ultrasound and get told it’s nothing. (Once a GP said to me: “I don’t believe it’s cancer.” Helpful. Thanks.)
Typing this after finding a semi-soft moveable lump in my lower back. Assuming it’s a lipoma. Still stressing. I don’t like doctors. Not even sure I want to make an appointment.

@Vinjii I hate this whole thing (went through it five years ago, super bad news too) and I totally get the stress.

@Vinjii When I finished my treatment my oncologist started with "Ten years ago we would not be standing here"

@Vinjii I replied "Is that because the building is new?" But he didn't get the joke and spelt out what he meant. I just told him I'm glad he didn't tell me that at the beginning.

@sullybiker They almost never get the jokes and I joke when I’m stressed and then you face a deadpan stare at best, and at worst an explanation.

@sullybiker It’s the way they say it. I once was told in A&E: It’s probably harmless but if the symptoms don’t resolve we have to consider a brain abscess or tumour so please come back.
