The word Tumor is a scary one. I heard it too close to home last Friday… Too close as in inside of me. Twice (as in two of them). I have been stressed to find out the results of the tests and that’s totally counter productive since it seems all these maladies started due to stress… Heh. Either way, today I got results from the biopsy today: its benign!. :-)

Tomorrow I get a CAT scan for the other one (its kind of deeper inside of me).

I’m confident its nothing big and it’ll all be ok. If anything its a good time to take a breather and realize too things: a) I’m working too much (or worrying too much), and b) I’m not having healthy habits. Work, projects, money and all that are cool but amount to nothing without the health to enjoy them. I think this will turn out being very positive in my life, I’m eating better and exercising more. Let’s keep it that way.

A message to my fellow grad students and friends in general: It seems this happened due to shitty eating habits, working at odd hours and things of the sort. If I am not mistaken this is kind of a common way of living for grad students, programmers and freelancers in general. A word of advice: stop it. We are still young, but it doesn’t last forever. The mistakes we make today could have big consequences in how we live the rest of our lives… Sigh.

Damn… This feels like a gloomy post. I should stop.

I’m happy though, I got an iPod!. :-P
