Why “Necrotized Tissue” Makes Me Happy

Necrotized tissue – literally means dead tissue. Dead.

And this makes me thrilled.

My Dad has been battling skin cancer for a couple of years. Friday was when he found out his status. Good, bad, or stable. I’ve been on pins and needles waiting.

Solid news: Stable with “necrotized tissue” in the affected areas.

(Learning Corner: “Necro” is Latin for “dead,” best known as “Necrophilia” (the desire to have sex with dead people.) Bet you remember this for a while, at least until the next cocktail party…)

So this means Dad’s cancerous tissue maybe dying.

Hooray!

Dead tissue, I never thought I’d be so happy to hear such a thing, but I’ll take, and celebrate, the good news, where I find it.

   That is very good news! I hope it does all die quickly! I can’t imagine what a scary ordeal that must have been to go thru!
