UP-date

It's that time of the year again, when I get an MRI to see if the cyst is gone. After two years, it has basically not changed size, so it is time for more drastic measures. Next Thursday I'll be going in for an endoscopic ultrasound, during which my doctor will take pictures and drain the fluid and analyze it to make sure it is just a pseudocyst. What else could it be? I asked, since he didn't seem willing to give me that information. A growth, he said. Cancer?, said I. No, but it is considered pre-cancer, so we would have to take it out.
Ok, fine. After two years of having this thing you are telling me it could be something else? He seemed pretty sure it is just a cyst, and I want to believe him. I am actually pretty excited to have this thing drained. Now, that doesn't mean I'd go off the diet, but at least I'd know I don't have something growing inside of me, at least for some time, since it could actually fill up again. The human body is indeed a mysterious thing.
