Thread: Large Lump in Armpit

May Buddha be shining on your wife and family, may the surgery be successful, and may any resulting test results be in your favor.

Hope all turn out well for Mrs Hillbilly.

Good luck,
Try not to worry too much. I am sure it will all work out

Sorry to hear it.

Hope it's nothing much.

Hope everything goes well. Best wishes to your wife.

It's moments like this that reminds us all how precious our partners really are and despite the fretting medical abnormalities often turn out to be trivial so best to remain positive.

Best wishes to Mrs H

Hope everything turns out ok....

I hope that nobody would be low enough to laugh about a situation like this, and I also hope that it is nothing serious and Mrs hillbilly makes a full and speedy recovery from whatever it is.

I am not sure if these tests are available in Thailand.

Thailand has some very highly regarded cancer research specialists, so hopefully all the latest treatments are available here.

Any symptoms of glandular fever?

I believe that is often the catalyst for swellings in that area.

All good thoughts from downunder mate, i hope the tests all come back with good results...and for you mate..be strong as LT said, there are others who will need your strength

Hope it's not the Big C, Billy but as already posted, Thailand has everything here that exists in the West re treatments. Assume you're in Bangkok for the diagnosis and treatments? Best wishes and luck as your wife and yourself go thru this scary shit...

My family has a history of not calling in sick. Me, maybe once every two years or so and same with the wife. The daughter has been at school every day for the last several years.

The wife slept in the extra room last night as she did not want to disturb me as her pain was bad.

This morning she got up, showered and went to work. The daughter and I tried to discourage her from going to no avail. Even as she left she was complaining about the pain and driving the car.

Posters who think Thai women are all gold diggers and lazy, have yet to meet my wife...

I should add that she is going to Bangkok General Hospital, so the care is up to speed.

Wishing u all the best .

Bangkok General has a good reputation for all care. I had a physical done there 3 years ago and was impressed on the quality of service.

you did not mention any diagnosis, Hilly

the reason for the surgery

anyway, good luck to her

We have had results out of the ying-yang. Some good, some not so good. We are told that the biopsy from the upcoming 20th will let us know.

Lots of support here and positive thoughts. Terrible not knowing. Hope for a positive outcome for your wife.

No it doesn't what?

Come on Ent, I know what he is saying.

Please everyone do not allow this thread to turn into a shit thread. Right now, this TD thread is my release...

Actually, my wife (Thai) is not inclined to visit any doctor. I have to literally drag her when its obvious the pain has reached its mass bursting point.

Recent abscessed wisdom tooth was her first visit to a doctor in over 7 years. I got her to remove all 4 in two trips. She's the happy camper today.

My wifes family is the same, never go to a doctor until the pain has reached tears in their eyes.

As with Hillbillies wife, mine to will exit the bedroom when she figures her pain and movement will disturb my sleep. Really giving it all up for you and you alone.

Pretty humbling experience.

So much I could say but I know one piece of advice is that you must look after yourself because you can not look after your loved ones if you let yourself go.
Be thinking of you.
