Husband Update:

[English Lady]

I should bump the old thread, but I'm lazy, so here's a new'un.

We had a phone call from the hospital this morning, the doctor gave my husband his test results. (please note, it gets a bit icky from here on in*L*) last week they took a scrapping of the mass up my husbands nose (ewwww) to see what it actually was.

Well, it turns out that the mass is 65% mucus, 30% mould (ewwwwwww) and who can do the maths? It's just 5% cancerous cells.

Which, as you can see, is good news. However, it also means that radiotherapy is unlikely to work on its own so surgery will be needed. This isn't as nasty as they thought it could be though as the cancer isn't as widespread as first feared.


So yay, good news It's all your good thoughts and prayers working, I know it. Thank you!

Mould? Eww! ...instead of cancer? Yay!

But still, kinda eww. *sigh* I'm so torn.

Srsly, good news. And good luck with the nose-job.

 

[geronimo_appleby]

*phew* {{{EL}}}

i'm struggling with the mould though.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

I know too much about molds. Bleagh! Comes from living with a microbiologist. Still, much easier to kill than cancer. Go get 'em!

I know, I know, the mould is seriously icky!

*phew* {{{EL}}}

i'm struggling with the mould though.

*nods* imagine how my husband feels, he doesn't even like cheese and now he's got mould up his nose.

Oh, please don't tell me anything about moulds, I really don't want to know. *L*

We are totally focusing in on the only 5% cancer, the rest we're trying to ignore, which is easier for me, than him. *L*

 

[matriarch]

I concur......mould..........euwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

But what fabulous news....and a great pressy for you all.

Delighted for you, but.......after I read your post out to the wife......she made the same face as the rest of us......mould? euwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

But, she wants to know. What mould? How'd it get there? Enquiring minds want to know.

Seriously.

I, on the other hand, have absolutely no desire to know.

On a better note......the cake......oh lordy, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Absolutely scrummy. The colonials don't do christmas cake, it's kind of the booby prize christmas gift over there. Philistines. I savoured every mouthful.

 

[impressive]

Who'd've thunk that higher percentages of mo(u)ld and mucous would be good news?

Here's to continuing positive news!

 

[Stella_Omega]

Noses are so strange, aren't they?

Here's hoping his surgery goes real easy and heals fast!

 

[Liar]

Who'd've thunk that higher percentages of mo(u)ld and mucous would be good news?

Well, mucous is just a fancy word for snot, isn't it? It's supposed to be in there.

Seriously.

Actually, it's probably a fungus. The spores are in the air we're all breathing, but don't usually cause disease. But much as it sucks to have a fungal infection, that's so much better than the alternative.

Best of luck to your better half in his surgery.

 

[epiphany65]

That's encouraging news. Thanks for the update. I hope all goes well from here on in, but who nose, right? You'll remain in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[SweetWitch]

I knew those angels would find you.

 

[Pornguin]

Here's hoping all turns out well.

 

[fifty5]

Glad to hear that the news is 95% good, but that 30% of that is "ewwwww" is, well, ewwwww!

Stick with it kids!

 

[DesertPirate]

I love good news!
Glad it's better than thought.

You are both still in my prayers

 

[TE999]

You thot it was cancer, but it's not. (say it, don't read it )

All kidding aside, this is fabulous news...a friend of mine had the same condition and he recovered nicely.

You and hub are in my thoughts...healing vibes on their way to you across the pond.

Wocka. Wocka.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

You thot it was cancer, but it's not. (say it, don't read it )

*snerk*

95% snot (and various other beasties) anyway...

So glad to hear the prognosis is better than expected!

 

[SeaCat]

Good news indeed.

Ya'll are in our thoughts.

Cat

 

[ABSTRUSE]
