I’m sorry to hear that it’s a tumor, but there is still certainly plenty of hope that things will be okay. I sincerely hope that it turns out to be benign, and that if you need treatments that they will be successful and easy. ---

Hey Bosda. Just wanted to chime in again to tell you I’m thinking of you and praying for a good biopsy. Isn’t it annoying as hell when you have to wait for testing and results? There’s gotta be a better system. We’re pullin’ for you, man! ---

Imagine a legion of orcs and Uruk-hai and balrogs being unleashed from the depths of Thangorodrim, swiftly moving from Angband to assault, invade, and conquer your tumor, dashing it to pieces and completely obliterating it from the realm of existence. The black banner of the Eye shall signal forthcoming victory against the tumor! We shall be victorious! We shall sweep away all resistance and obstacles from Our path! None shall stand against Us! Aaaaarrrrrrr! Um, okay, getting back to reality - I will recite Tehillim (Psalms) for you, and hope that healing light and power from Above will come to give you strength of mind and body, to inspire your medical team, and to set all things right.
