I am tired and no longer amused with so much the medical dramah L.

            After undergoing a chest x-ray and two blood tests for my self-imposed annual physiological examination (the second still has traces ‘coz I bruised up due to wrong needle insertion), I found out yesterday I needed to do a re-take of my chest x-ray. But, this time with apicolordotic view daw.

According to the film taken two weeks ago (the reading was just released yesterday), there were “suspicious densities” seen in my lungs’ right upper lobe. I told the doctor that maybe my coughs the day when I had said x-ray taken might have something to do with the densities reflected. She said sana nga ‘coz if not, my PTB (in college) most likely recurred.

            WHAT?!!!

            Please no.  If ever, dang, six months of medication again? The expense, the hassle, the further deterioration of my liver (to think I was born with a weak one as manifested by my jaundice and my dad did have liver complications prior his cancer)!

            Here I am, trying to be fit and being more watchful of myself compared with my peers (and self-imposed at my own time pa at that ha; not as a requirement of or benefit bestowed by private companies), yet I get these annual health scare. 

            I hurried back to the lab after office hours to do the chest x-ray re-take. I’ll hopefully get the results later.  Cross your fingers with me, please?
