NOT CANCER

WORTH IT
The pathology report from Harvard was good news. No reason to determine malignancy in the abnormal cells.

At my follow up which was 6 days after the surgery, Dr. H said my lipoma had abnormal cells (Lockhern) and had to sent away for further review. Now I feel like an idiot for not getting that thing removed years ago. My husband has basically convinced himself I have cancer. Ughh, the waiting on results is kinda crazy because it could take one month!

Hope you get good news when it comes back. Lots of times abnormal doesn't mean cancerous, it could be from inflammation, or possibly be precancerous. But I know it's scary to hear that. You're in my thoughts. Please let us know what you find out.

Bandage removed day 2

Silicone strip on the incision. It's bruised and painful if I don't take meds. I've taken ibuprofen twice. Still haven't felt like I needed prescription meds because I don't know how I will react to them and I have two young kids to take care of.

It isn't scaring too much. Dr. said if I put paper tape on it the scarring will be less. I'll post a new picture soon.
