Tumor...fuck...

[weshole]

Sorry to hear dude.

[zbrown]

good luck man, hopefully it is just an easy in and out, and it is benign

[hondaking424]

my mom had pollio when she was young and has been to mayo a couple times for work on her knees. She said all the doctors and nurses were really nice and do amazing work.

Definatley throw on a benifit it it is malignant.

Just out of curiosity, why hasn't he even looked at it himself? Fargo isn't horrible for cancer treatment, not to mention you usually need a referral for Mayo(generally meaning its been checked out already, etc). Just curious I guess.

I would say thats up to my parents.

[civic91]

Oh, so your parents decided just to go to Mayo? If so, thats cool that the doctor gave you a referral then because I know it's pretty stringent to actually get in. We fought for a couple of months before we got the neccessary "authorization".

Sorry for asking so many questions, it's all just really fresh for me, so curious how your process is working, and if I can help you out at all.

That's one hell of a religious doctor to say that line when you ask him a serious question.

[Grr]

Usually when you have an injury like that it can cause enough damage to create a benign growth like you have. I wouldnt stress about it much because it i obviously related to you damaging your knee.
I guess i havent been taking all these medical classes for nothing!

My wife works at Mayo. Let me know if you need any help with directions or anything. Good luck!

somehow this sounds a bit sarcastic...but i cant tell, its internet talk. Yeah, the doctor called Mayo and is trying to get me in ASAP, but we are waiting on their call back...so I dont know when I will be able to actually get this going.

It was nice to hear it. The seriousness in his voice was not only enough to scare the shit out of me...but after this is all done, I am going to church every sunday.

Nah man, theres a time and a place for it, and I don't know you well enough personally to joke around with this situation. Either way, good luck.

thank you, im still a bit in shock but im more composed than I was earlier..its a start I suppose.

[Instigator]

Now, not trying to sound like a bad guy or anything, I guess I'm more uninformed than anything else, but I thought tumors only developed on major organs and whatnot. Correct me if I am wrong.

In any case, I wish you the best of luck.

I assume tumors can grow on anything?

here is what it looks like compared to my normal leg...its pretty fucked up

[Grr]

holy shit! just so you know, you might as well trim up that forest you got going on cause they will do it anyway. Anything that took off that quick shouldnt be a problem, its probably just some hyperplasia as a result of the injury. good luck with it as if its inside the joint your leg is gonna be bum for a couple months

[JN210]

yeah....my mom is telling me I may not walk again for a few months.

[integra_gsr98]

Just poke it with a knife and see if it pops! HAHA

[JN210]

lol, its quite tempting at times...
