My Biopsy Result

Today went to Gleneagles Hospital and collected my biopsy result. Can’t cheat myself, I was a bit worry and nervous even though I already prepared for any bad news. Sat in the clinic and waited for more than 1 hour before I met the doctor. The 1 hour seemed like as long as a century.

Finally I met the doctor. He just told me 2 sentences before I got a chance to ask him a question. However, the 2 sentences are one of the most beautiful words I even heard. What he said? “You are fine. It is not cancerous.”

Maybe I was too happy, only replied 2 words: Good, good but forgot to say “Thank You doctor”. Felt so bad about that.

Below is my biopsy report. Frankly speaking, I don’t know all the words in the report. However, I know I am fine and this is the most important thing. D told me “good man got good life”. I wish I can have a good life even though I don't consider myself as a good man.
