At 80, my belly had grown so much that doctors were left shocked

The doctor intervened gently.

“I understand why this memory disturbs you. But the consultation of twelve years ago cannot explain for itself what we see today. We need to know what the party is.

That afternoon I did the tomography.

Daniel stayed beside me, holding my hand in the waiting room.

When the doctor came back with the results, his expression was serious.

Mrs. Margaret, you are not pregnant.

I felt such a great relief that I almost started laughing.

But the doctor continued:

— You have a very voluminous cystic formation that seems to start from the right ovary area. Contains a large amount of liquid and presses on the surrounding organs.

    Is it cancer? Daniel asked immediately.

We can’t say that based on the images. Some such formations are benign, others can be malignant. We need surgical evaluation and pathological examination.

I looked at my belly.

For six months I had told myself it was only old age.
