A bit anti-climatic

Two days before my surgery was supposed to take place, my doctor decided to do some scans. He found that despite my feeling worse in the tumor area, it actually has not grown at all. In fact it has not grown ever since scan one in August of last year. Also my entire Vena Cava down to my legs is full of blood clot so it won't do any good to replace a part of it. He says my kidneys are draining well and my circulation is okay. Although it feels like there is a baseball in my chest, I guess I'm done with doctors and hospitals for a while. So as Perecles said to the Athenians....."maybe your not so bad off having a dormant tumor on your vena cava".
