said something really dumb to an attending today and i keep telling people about it as if one of them will then go tell the attending that i’m aware that what i said is dumb and i didn’t mean it
which i realize is basically that episode of the west wing where everyone keeps embarrassing themselves in front of that one ny times writer and sending new people to go fix it

Here's some cancer sketches I did yesterday at the hospital b4 they doped me up for spinal chemo. Everything could've gone worse but I still feel like shit :/ original bone marrow results are negative (massive sigh of relief) but the leukemia is still showing up positive in my spinal fluids. It really do be hiding in my central nervous system, and my oncologist said the scary "Car T Cell Therapy" yesterday. Hopefully if I do anymore treatments it just monoclonal antibodies bc I will cry if I lose my hair again :(( but at the same time I don't want to DIE so ig I'll do what I gotta do :^)
I was gonna make more zukka fanart but I have to focus on my health and school

Navigating Affordable Brain Tumor Surgery: Exploring Costs and Locations in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.
Brain Tumor Surgery: Advancements, Procedure and Affordability, Kachiguda, Hyderabad
Introduction: Brain tumor surgery is a critical medical procedure aimed at removing abnormal growths within the brain. With advancements in medical technology and surgical techniques, these surgeries have become safer and more effective, offering improved outcomes for patients.
Types of Brain Tumors: Brain tumors are categorized as either benign or malignant, with the latter being cancerous and more aggressive. Common types include gliomas, meningiomas, and metastatic tumors that originate from other parts of the body.
Preoperative Preparations: Before surgery, thorough diagnostic imaging such as MRI and CT scans help determine the tumor's location, size, and proximity to vital brain regions. This information guides surgical planning.
Surgical Approaches:
Craniotomy: The traditional approach involves creating an opening in the skull to access the tumor. It offers direct visualization and access but may involve more risks and longer recovery.
Minimally Invasive Surgery: Techniques like endoscopic surgery and stereotactic radiosurgery use smaller incisions, reducing trauma to healthy brain tissue and leading to shorter recovery times.
Surgery Procedure:
Anesthesia: The patient is given general anesthesia to ensure they are unconscious and pain-free during the procedure.
Tumor Resection: The surgeon carefully removes the tumor, attempting to preserve surrounding healthy tissue. Intraoperative MRI may be used to confirm complete removal.
Monitoring: Throughout the surgery, the patient's vital signs and brain function are continuously monitored to ensure safety.
Advancements in Brain Tumor Surgery:
Image-Guided Navigation: 3D imaging and navigation systems help surgeons pinpoint tumor locations more precisely, minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
Neuromonitoring: Techniques like awake surgery enable real-time assessment of brain function during the procedure, reducing the risk of postoperative deficits.
Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT): This minimally invasive procedure uses lasers to destroy tumor tissue while causing minimal damage to surrounding areas.
Postoperative Care: After surgery, patients are closely monitored in the intensive care unit. Recovery involves managing pain, preventing infections, and addressing any neurological deficits.
Challenges and Risks: Brain tumor surgery carries inherent risks, including infection, bleeding, and damage to brain tissue. The location of the tumor can impact the potential for complete removal without causing functional deficits.

Part 246 of “A Tale of Two Rulers” (Oct 26, 2023)
THIS IS SO LATE!!! My brain finally kicked back on. I'm sorry, but thank you so much for understanding and being patient as always.
Thanks so much to all my amazing supporters that help make this comic happen! ♥
Also special thanks to loud-monotone-screaming for the great name suggestion for Duskar! Much appreciated! That's his name now.
And also thanks to biggaymatt for suggesting Bidna for "Boy Midna". Simple. Powerful. Good middle name for him.

for those that wonder how the medical stuff is going, I'll put that below the cut so anyone who doesn't want to see it can skip it easier:
Three of the 12 eggs made it to blastocysts and are now frozen! One is a boy, one is a girl, and one is a ninja who's test results came back 'unknown'. Unknown is a excellent gender. Very proud of all my little frozen snow babies. I really hope they live. Hopefully I will only have to do one more surgery before I can see if my body is fit to give these kids life. If you happen to pray, please send prayers to make these kids powerful. I really really really want them to live. I'm kinda worried sick.
