Good news? Bad news? I don't know

The growth in Chibi's ear was cancerous. The doctor said it was the kind of thing that is typically limited, and the danger is that it might grow back at the same location. I'm not entirely sure I believe him... I suppose part of this is that, when he talked about the suspicious growth in Chibi's ear, he never mentioned that it could be cancerous. How much of what he's saying is hopeful optimism, and how much of it is simply the unvarnished truth?

But that makes it that much more important-seeming to me to get him on thyroid medication, so I can see what that does for his weight.

In my lexicon, "suspicious growth" is equivalent to "may be cancer". I hope everything goes well with Chibi. *hugs*

Yep.

I hope Chibi's okay.

Thank you.

The reason I was feeling bothered by the doctor was that it wasn't actually called a "suspicious growth" (as far as I remember - I could be remembering wrong), so I couldn't think "possibly cancer". Of course, when the doctor saw it, it wasn't as bad as it got a couple weeks later, so who knows?
