Looks like the pathologist may have made a mistake. I have a tumor in my thigh in a lymph node. Fine needle aspiration done already, CT scan tomorrow. Results from both on Saturday next week.
Possibilities (in decreasing order of likelihood):
1. Metastatic melanoma
2. Lymphoma
3. Metastasis of the Spitz Nevus (unlikely)
4. TB (very unlikely)
5. Viral infection/some other random disease (extremely unlikely)
Edited to add:
When they told me about the CT scan, a smiling nurse gave me two bottles of orange colored gunk, along with the times when I had to drink them (5.00 p.m. today and 8.00 p.m. today). She told me it was 'yaa rabai'.
I've just worked out why it's called that. 'Rabai tor' in Thai means 'clean out the drains'. Yaa rabai does the same thing, only to your insides.
Yup. I'm feeling pretty damn well cleaned out, I can tell you. I must have lost a good three kilos or so. Quick! To the scales! And then claim a sudden weight loss victory!
