 |  |  |  | I got a mast cell tumor in the muscle in the back of my neck six months ago. I had it removed, then the scar tissue inside never healed right. There was an infection in the scar tissue and it finally swelled up last month, so they had to go in again and remove scar tissue. This time, they found NO mast cells. (YAY!!!) I didn't go through radiation or chemo. $2,000 + later and two surgeries later, I am doing better than ever. They even think the mast cell tumor was causing my allergies (they create histamines). I am so over the cancer, but I don't think my mom is. But I really don't mind the extra petting while she checks me for "lumps". So far, I have not had anything new show up...but I'm not going to tell her to stop looking. ; ) |  |  |  |  |
