So I got my path reports back from my surgery. →[More:]It's handy having a husband's who is a pathologist too, because he requested the slides to look at. I have a picture of the teratoma though. mmmm nice having that inside you.

Seriously, podie: is that a joke? I have seen other pictures of those things, but none quite so fierce.

Will you be getting a combination of X-Ray therapy ane chemo? I know this can be stressful, and I'm hoping all the best for you and mr. gaspode.

better out than in, i say.

wow, now you have a great conversation starter for parties, eh?

posted by lonefrontranger 28 March | 10:48

Whoa.

Seriously, whoa.

I KNOW you feel better now!

hee.

blame essexjan, she's the troublemaker

But in all seriousness, I haven't got the path reports back yet, and in fact they took an extra biopsy because they saw something that looked like a melanoma. So I'm hoping that this isn't a classic cry wolf moment. Oh wells.

Whhhheeeewww.

No sense fretting until you get the report. I've been biospied too, and I know you'll still be nervous, but they're most likely just being cautious and giving you good care. Best o'luck!

Heh...I was going to say that that was a perfect OMG! TERATOMA!! post for essexjan.

And, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all is well with your path results.

TPS, you have my permission to beat me round the head with a bunch of cilantro when I'm in NYC.

Wow, here I was all feeling sad about my wussy gallstone that was as big as the surgeons thumb, come to find out I still rule the gross things that were once inside you game. Hope all goes well gaspode, you know how dr's are now, they test everything to the Nth degree.

posted by HollyGoheavy 28 March | 11:45

I never said I was up for a whipping, TPS, don't get carried away.

posted by essexjan 28 March | 11:48

awww... you still win hollygoheavy.

The actual real honest-to-god teratoma was 6cm around, approx. So it wasn't small. But it was in a space not a gallstone, gah!

posted by gaspode 28 March | 11:48

I had to look up the word Teratoma to know what it meant.

*shivers*

That looks bad.

Glad you’re doing okay Mrs. gaspode!

I clicked on and then off the pic so fast, I totally bought it. :D

I'll keep my fingers crossed RE: the biopsy!

posted by BoringPostcards 28 March | 12:28

I thought it was some kind of grenado.

Anyone who gets that reference will get a special real live in the mail treat from me.

Holy Mary, mother of God! gaspode, you are in sooo much trouble!

Ewwww! Ho. Lee. Crap. Best wishes for the biopsy results, I am crossing things for you.

posted by TheDonF 28 March | 13:15

Man, I can't beleive any of y'all fell for that!

'pode, you is too much, lady. (And good luck with the results, darling.)

I think I win that. You should see my ex-husband.

posted by essexjan 28 March | 14:36

Wow, what a pic, gaspode. Kind of a Mr. Potato Head from Hell, I guess.

Damn, ej! funny x2.

I'm just really relieved. I was really horrified and creeped out when I saw that pic (OMG it has a face! And a hand!), but I didn't want to hurt the feelings of the Podey by being all "Ewwww! That was inside you?!"

posted by Miko 28 March | 15:50

Eeee, gaspode! Good luck with the second test. Neither of us are like Kat though, hmm? ;-)

posted by brujita 28 March | 23:12

'pode - if you;re got that inside you, I'd start trying to get Baron Samedi's attention, rightnow.

Hope "things" work out; if anyone suggests a 'gamma knife' - they're quacks.

posted by porpoise 28 March | 23:48

Yowie! I'm so glad you got rid of that! And let us know about the melanoma. Good luck.
