Another Day, Another Lump - April 12, 2010

Pete came into the computer room this morning after he showered. He was dressed for work but apparently he had discovered a small lump, about the size of a pea, in his armpit. He put a call in to his oncologist as soon as they opened and waited for a call back. He got the call while he was on his way to work and then called me to tell me that he's got an appointment for 3 this afternoon. I asked if he'd please pick me up on his way, but he didn't sound very enthusiastic about that and said he'd be leaving work around 2 and would talk to me later.

It's about 1:15 now.

In one of my earlier posts (Dec 19, 2009 - And the Hits Keep Comin'), he had a lump similarly pop up, but it was on his arm, just a little below the inside bend of the elbow. The doctor had ordered a sonogram but they were never able to determine what it was. They were going to order a biopsy, but that was just about the same time that they found the brain tumor, which was much more critical. That little lump on his arm just disappeared as mysteriously as it had appeared. We're hoping that this little lump is the same kind of thing and that it will just quietly go away.
