Latest update. Surgical Biopsy done on 9th October 2014 at Pantai Bangsar, operation was carry out by a hand surgeon (Dr. Iskandar) and Professor Dr. Zulmi Wan. We be getting the result later today.

Cost for surgical biopsy is around RM7,000.00.

Thanks! Just got back from hospital today, went to remove stitching and last follow up will be next week. Tumor examination report came in today, all are non- cancerous cells (Fibrous and benign fats aka hibernoma)  rclxm9.gif

Doctor can't explain why fibrous tissues and fats can grow in this area (Supraclavicular). It's very rare indeed and caught them by surprise, nevertheless everything went smoothly and we are both very grateful to Professor Dr. Zulmi Wan and Dr. Mohd Iskandar.

glad to hear everything is good, and wow 40k yawn.gif
hope your wife has a speedy recovery !
How is she doing so far ?

I recently found an adrenal mass, near my right kidney , i got diagnosed at SJMC since i live in subang so is quite convenient.
Now just waiting to find out what kind of cancer i have.

Test , scans and biopsy cost a bomb -.- , hopefully no more inconclusive results =/

No insurance card covered? Last time I went to SJMC for endoscopy also. Quite expensive. But fortunately covered by company medical card.

Will do my best to stay positive smile.gif

Went hospital today to remove all bandages. Wound is recovering well, still some stiffness and swelling around that area which is consider normal. Next will have to attend 6 sessions (Twice per week) of Ultrasound Therapy, this will help soften the tissues.
