I was with a friend earlier this morning. I accompanied her to the doctor. She was having abdominal pains. She's been complaining about it all day at work, or in our case, all night. :) She mentioned this occured some time after her period. We were talked about it during lucnh, and concluded that it must be UTI.

We rushed into the next building, which was where the clinic was, after our shift ended.  We waited for about an hour for the doctor.

While we waited, we kept talking about how our day went at work, and what's latest with each other's lives. She's a single mom, and had just got out from a 5-yr relationship. Though they're still in good terms with her ex-boyfriend, they haven't talked about getting back yet.

Everything was like the usual. A routine in our mostly unexciting life. 

And she came, The OB, whom ill dubbed Dr O.

Dr O, got inside her office, and requested my friend to follow her in her cubicle/office.  And while they're at it, I had myself busy reading magazines on how to lose baby weight. The patient-doctor talk took about 30 minutes. When she got out, there was a certian dismay in my friend's face.

She went to where I was and told me that she might have myoma. The doctor some sort of an examination, and noticed that there was a lump somewhere inside her. The doctor cannot confirm it yet, she advised my friend to get an ultrasound. 

I sounded unbelievable. Her having a myoma, or any of my friends diagnose with that seems far-fetched. She'll have herself checked again next week. And I hope it really isn't myoma. We didn't talked about it much. After the consultation, we both headed home.

Before we separated, I told her not to worry so much, because it's not yet confirmed. I really don't know what to say. I wish I could do something for her. I know that myoma, isn't really a deadly disease, but it's not just fever either.

Sigh! I'm just overwhelmed to the fact, that most of the time we really have no control over things that'll happen to us. And the thought, makes me afraid of what might happen in the future, of my own future.
