Confirmed: Fatty Globs are Benign

In a phone call from the doctor yesterday it was confirmed that the three fatty globs removed from near my triceps in outpatient surgery last week are, in fact, completely benign tumors and have no trace of cancer whatsoever. Yay!

On another topic, I was also told that my daily anti-nausea meds were going to be changed, which makes me a little bit nervous. Rather than being nauseated, I have lately been experiencing more of what I would describe as just bad heartburn, an upper g.i. tract kind of heat. They had told me previously that I could just take an OTC antacid for this. I have and it hasn't been helping. So the plan is to get something stronger for the burn and see if that helps. As long as the uncontrollable vomiting doesn't return (which it hasn't for this second round of chemo), I am willing to try new scrips.

Now, if they could only come up with a prescription that would make all of my food and drink taste "normal" again, I would feel like I have hit the pharmaceutical jackpot.
