Success is sweet
I saw tumors. The MRIs were successful. It always amazes me to see so much detail in an MRI. The technology involved is really quite straight forward (it has been used by chemists for decades) but the application of the technology is really ingenious. Too cool.
Yeah, so detailed when I had one on my lower back, the doc said my lower back muscles looked "marbled." Not sure you ever want any muscles on your body described as "marbled." Cut me up and throw me on the grill, baby!
Wow - this is interesting. Congratulations on getting the tumors to grow - that sounds funny, huh. We're happy that a tumor grows?!? Well, it's for science.
I wish the sqamous cell tumor on my arm recently had not grown. I have an ugly two inch cut with lots of stiches to close it. I am happy that it is gone now. At least I hope it is gone!
And Jess, being marbled is not the same as having backfat. The animal geneticists have been working on that one for years. Now me, I think I have both. I would require lots of trimming even by Haniball Lecter.
