officially sick

My doctor told me the biopsy results were ready and so I visited her Friday afternoon.

As it turns out, the lump is nothing but a benign cyst, which is good, However, I still have to be in medication for the next two months so make sure the cyst doesn't come back.

Or should I say it already did. I felt another lump on the same spot Wednesday evening although I really couldn't do anything since I was in Dagupan City. When I got back and visited Dr. Rosario Cruz-Durian (free endorsement here again. I simply love her, even if I don't like doctors), she once more struck a syringe right through the cyst for the second time. And since it didn't have as much content (spec. blood) this time, she had to make sure she had all of its content which meant the needle had stuck in my neck longer than before.

The bad news here is that this needle therapy thing (I forgot what it's called) can only be done for three times. After that would be either lots of medicine or surgery (please...).

Anyway, it still doesn't feel different, unless I feel cold (which by the way, I usually does. I'm a tropical person you know) or I haven't had water for a few hours. That really hurts, as if someone was trying to choke and kill me by suffocation. So now, I always bring some drink and my shawl/ jacket with me. Aside from that, I'm good, or at least I think I am.
