Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2378096, member: 199"] Hi All! It has been a very 'interesting' and complex off-season for me which has included numerous trips to the Dana Farber in Boston and two operations. The good news is everything went really really really well. While the baseball size lump they removed was technically classified as a cancer, it was also technically classified as non-malignant, something that prior to this summer I and my two doctor friends would all have termed an oxymoron! It was also primarily located in my fatty tissue in a area far from major blood vessels, nerves, bone, or organs so the operations were very simple and the recovery was very easy and almost pain free. I sort of think of it as a more complicated liposuction! :eek: All of that being said, the journey traveled from first poke, to final removal and identification was not exactly smooth and promotes some fairly heavy mental and emotional lifting. And some serious escapist behaviors! So ... I have been self medicating with very interesting wines while plunging headlong into a kindle binge of trashy novel reading (which followed marathon sessions on netflix, acorn, and britbox.) I have maintained my browsing habits which include daily stops at the boneyard (the Collier defection was a down day!) but have not been quite as obsessive and have found that, while the posters here on the BY remain some of the brightest and most articulate brains ever gather into one area since time immemorial, my own mind was somewhat otherwise engaged and I had little to say on the topics under review. Hopefully once the games begin again I will cast off my cocoon and emerge as witty as ever! :rolleyes::cool: I appreciate the kind words and posts above. FYI - the Dana Farber and all the employees I interacted with there are truly impressive. An amazing organization! [/QUOTE]
