Art's Tumor

I can hardly wait for Monday, when we will go to Art's doctor and know the result of the biopsy. My husband is taking it nicely, not showing any sign of uneasiness. Benign or not, he has to go under cobalt treatment to reduce the size. The doctors does not want to give us any idea yet how much it could possibly cost. The EENT especialist said that we will discuss it once the result of the biopsy is out. It could cost a lot, especially with the fact that we don't have any medical insurance except for Philhealth, which is given out to SSS retirees and which is not very much. But I know God will take care of everything. God will provide.

My Husband's Tumor

Art was found to have a big tumor under his tongue and at it's base last Monday when we saw an EENT Specialist. He subjected him to Endoscopy that enabled the doctor to see it. The monitor was played back and we saw the tumor on the screen. The doctor scheduled him for biopsy Monday morning. If it is benign, the growth can be arrested through cobalt treatment. If it is malignant and serious, they might have to cut his tongue and he will be subjected to cobalt treatment or chemotheraphy, I am not very sure yet which of which. We will find out one week after the biopsy, depending on the findings of the doctors. Let us just pray that it is nothing serious.
