Before I tell you my wee story I just want to let you know that I'm fine - Mini Me is still there but is no bigger :-).Now, when I was first diagnosed with Mini Me my Doc told me that, due to the amount of blood vessels going to her, she had the capacity to change.....in my mind that meant that the nature of the tumour could change aka the cells could become cancerous at some point in the future. So every time I go for a check up I find them incredibly stressful - I keep waiting for them to say that she has become cancerous!! Chris and I talked about it and we decided that we would discuss with my Doctor the possibility of just having her taken out. I am so so so glad we made that decision.....after my check up we got to meet with t
he specialist liver surgeon of the hospital (I know....how amazing is that!!) who told me that I could have her out if I really really wanted to but that the type of tumour she is means that she will probably not grow significantly in the next 20 years and that there is no way she will ever turn cancerous!!! When the other Doc said capacity to change what he meant was capacity to get bigger......ah the subtleties of language!!

Gosh, what completely brilliant news. Fab that you can stop thinking about it now. Phew, eh?
How wonderful that you've had your mind put at rest now. What a ghastly thing to have had at the back of your mind for so long though.

What a relief! So great to be able to stop worrying about it now then!x
So glad to hear that Carol.
Great news! x
That must be a relief - how awful to be dreading the news that the "change" has happened.
Hope you're celebrating in one form or another?

Oh how very interesting! Love the pictures made everything you wrote completly clear and understandable. You know it is Chopper's appointment with the gastroenterologist this evening? Don't think we will find out much as it is only his first but it has been a long 13 week wait for this, esp 'cos he was referred as an urgent case! Hope the worst he has is a mini him...
What terrific news! I'm so happy for you. Phew, indeed!!!! xo
Leigh - I've not been in SL recently cause I was having real problems....it was taking ages to rez and then I couldn't get Iona to move at all!! I tried the other day at my Dad's insistence and everything was fine....seems it's all sorted out now (whatever it was!!). I've been working on some art stuff recently but hopefully will see you soon.....cave sounds interesting!!!
Thanks Hullabahoney!!! I'm rather relieved :-)
