Hang in there, Rossco. There probably isn't any 'best time' regarding your health, but it always needs to come first.

You doctor is correct.

tu·mor
a swelling of a part of the body, generally without inflammation, caused by an abnormal growth of tissue, whether benign or malignant.

Moles are tumors.

A cyst is just a sac filled with something. A cyst can be a tumor. They can be caused by different things. For example, a common cyst is a sebaceous cyst, and it's usually caused by swollen hair follicles or the sebaceous gland becoming blocked.

And for multiple tumors all over the body in various sizes and shapes?

some cause pain by themself randomly, some hurt to press and others are just there while others just sprout up. I have at least 15+ that are subdermal. That's why I'd like more than visual prognosis.

If it's all in my head, that's cool.. I guess.and not like my family has a history of cancer or anything though.

As a funny aside, you, Duncan and someone else from nbr, maybe jbazzet, should get on jeopardy.

Just say "It's not a toomah" in a deep voice and that should fix it.

The scan was well not all good.. there looks like more growing in me then they thought .. about 5-6 more which most likely will be tumors.. so most likely gunna die (maybe not) sooner then later. as it is spreading behind my lungs and into my neck area. Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas Ross.

Sometimes things get worse before they get better. You're both tough and strong and have an amazing attitude. Don't despair. :)

Ima find a way to order you some hemp seed oil even without a pc. Even if it goes against doctors orders or prescribed methodology.

Youre not done bro.

Haha. If they are growing at this rate there is no way to stop it. It's just life. They about the size of dimes right now. It will be whatever it will be I'm not worried.

Oh man, that's not good news. It's amazing how you're taking it and I really do wish you the best.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Rossco. You seem to have a strong persona about this life altering news, yet everyone knows but probably isn't saying, it hurts me to hear it and it goes without saying it must to you as well. I can only hope that you have a good time with those you love while you can, and to share your positive spirit as much as possible.

My family and I wish you all the best and if you ever come up to Squamish, please feel free to drop a line and come by for a meal or a drink with us.

Take care.

Mine vary from some and quarters sized to oblong and thumb sized. You'll be fine ;)

I'm not sure if I missed it but did they say they're
malignant?

Malignant or not those things are little fusckers is what they are. Punch 'em each in diseases - that's what I'd treat 'em with.

These they are not sure what these are. But they were not there before the surgery. Or at least since the last MRI
