The gift that keeps on giving

Well, just another day in my crazy life.

If these Sarcoma critters don’t turn me into a full grown alcoholic I don’t know what will 😅…

I found a little lump on my left knee about 3 weeks ago. My oncologist thought it was a build up of fluid as I actually did some exercise (I know, shocking) but booked me in for an ultrasound to be on the safe side.

Today I had my ultrasound… turns out I have another little friend growing 😅 (I wish they knew I hated company). ‘He’, yes my tumours a he, because we all know they are more selfish 😆, is about 2cm big but apparently has been there years without me even noticing (like all my other little buggers)… he has no active blood vessels so he’s not been ‘growing’ or is going to grow any further any time soon 🤞🏼 (lazy bastard, obviously a show’er not a grower 😉)… so now it’s time for another MRI to check the surrounding tissues and to come up with yet another plan (my oncologists must hate me) haha!

Onwards and upwards hey! I think I already knew I had a new little mate and I kinda already had my head around it as I’m quite in tune with my body by now. Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t make it any easier to hear, however I think I’ve become so distant in terms of my emotions and hearing bad news that I just don’t seem to cry about it anymore, I laugh it off and embrace the next chapter and deal with whatever gets thrown at me (but that’s just me, it’s so ok to cry about things, open the flood gates if you want guys, we’re all friends here).

But remember campers, always go with your gut and get every lump/bump checked if you aren’t sure, you are NEVER wasting anyone’s time!!
