What I’m going to tell you is serious. It’s kind of hard for me to tell you since it’s very personal, but I think it’s important, knowing the events that might follow this.

Some years ago, I was diagnosed of polycystic ovarian syndrome, on both of my ovaries. I couldn’t follow the proper treatment, after some time, I neglected myself and today, after a casual medical check-up, I was diagnosed with a tumor on one of my ovaries. It’s not a <1cm cyst, this tumor is almost 5cm (so it’s bigger than my ovary), which means the only way to remove it is with surgery.

Also, knowing my family history and by a decision from the doctor, they had to do a CA-125 to me, which is a cancer marker. The results will be out tomorrow. If it’s benign I’ll undergo a surgery, but if it’s not the case… They would rather not anticipate events.

I’m not scared. Honestly after all the bad news I’ve been receiving since the beginning of the year, this is no surprise at all. Still, knowing what kind of treatment is awaiting, the procedures I’ll have to follow, how my body will receive it… makes me anxious (even more anxious knowing how much money I will have to spend since I don’t have any medical assurance or something like that). I still haven’t talked about it with my family, so they might want to hear of a second medical opinion.

The thing is, no matter what the result of the blood test will be, I still must gather everything for my pre- and post-treatment, and all that I have to go through. It won’t be immediate, but they recommended me to do it as soon as possible to prevent tumor growth (the surgery is mandatory).

I will be opening commissions after Mother’s Day (next Sunday) since lately I’ve been busy with lots of stuff. I was still planning on doing it, but this is quite urgent. Any kind of support, whether it’s sharing this or commissioning me, I’ll be very grateful if it helps me save money for the treatment.
