munchkins are like wizards too

So the much anticipated moment has arrived at the ENT to see the results of the biopsy results. It was my birthday coincidently. I was hoping for some good news. Alas I was told I had a growth considered level 4. I asked is there a level 5? Like a car can I have reverse? It was not to be. Apparently level 4 is very serious. Actually I can't remember what it was meant to mean. It didn't matter really. To me it was not a lymphoma, or a benign growth, it was the other. I just hope it's not a long stoy short life affair.

Looking at the biopsy report the words carcinoma and malignant were the words that stood out. The combination of the 2 is not good ie malignant cancer.
It was bad news alright. Dr Ali couldn't do any more and Dr Avatar expresses his sadness at giving bad news. He then disappears but later comes back saying that a surgical procedure was not recommended. That it may have a high morbidity incidence. He suggests chemo and radio as the solution. However he made an appointment with the neurosurgion clinic at Ipoh a Dr Tinnesh.
