You're doing great, apple. Your memory will gradually come back, and you'll know where everything is in your kitchen just as before. When hubby and I moved into our first house, his parents and sister came to visit at the same time we received our furniture and moving boxes with all our household goods. Imagine having company at the same time as moving into a new house. I left for work the next morning and came home that day to find my MIL and teen SIL had unpacked all the kitchen boxes and put everything away for me. I had no idea where anything was. I was a stranger in my own kitchen. So I have an idea how you feel about finding things in your own kitchen at this time. God be with you, apple. You are a delight.

Perhaps oncologists have lost the original meaning of the word and now use it to mean 'non-cancerous'. But as far as the english language is concerned it quit being 'benign' when it gave you a seizure that sent you to the hospital. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you're feeling well. |

just as a technicality....benign and malignant always refer to the biological capacity of the particular cell to invade and metastasize, not to the actual clinical picture. a malignancy can be very indolent and and even asymptomatic but if the cell is cancerous, than its malignant. a benign tumor cannot invade and metastasize, but may have serious clinical consequences. just depends on location. for example, an atrial myxoma is a benign tumor, but unfortunatley, in the heart, which can be problematic. this is particularly true in the skull. since the skull is a closed box so to speak, with not much room to spare, any growth, even benign from a cellular point of view, can cause pressure on normal brain tissue, even without the capacity to invade. thats why in neurology, the most important aspect of a tumor is location, in addition to the cellular biology of the mass. benign doesnt mean innocent, it just means benign. malignant doesnt mean deadly, it just means the cell is malignant, it has transformed. thats just nomenclature. but i can see how it may be confusing. |
