Quote-of-the-Day
When you have cancer you worry that every new develop in your body is a sign that the cancer is worsening. I was worried that a smallish pocket of tissue in my belly was ascites, or fluid in my belly which can be a sign of tumor growth. So at my last appointment as he was palpating my belly, I asked him about the spot. He felt for a second then loudly proclaimed, "I am happy to announce that that is just fat." You are priceless, Dr. Lim. :)
