Tumor Fever Tidbit

so, my mom was doing some research on "tumor fever". this is what dr. doom called my fever last year, he has yet to say that i had the same thing this time. she happened across a fellow cancer blogger who has experienced the same tumor fever as i have and she has done some research on the scenario. here is a snippet:

"'Tumor Fever' is not uncommon and is caused when the tumors "become necrotic" (die).
You end up with dead tissue in your liver & colon which can cause inflammation..."

this particular person has colon cancer that has spread to her liver, thus the mention of the "liver & colon" location. for me however, it would be in the kidney/lymph node area. i had been having pain around lefty for a few days before i got sick. this makes sense with the "dead tissue....which can cause inflammation". although my dr. has yet to confirm whether he believes it to be tumor fever again, all signs are pointing that way since all of my tests came back negative in the hospital. this is very encouraging to me. DIE LEFTY DIE YOU CANCEROUS BASTARD! if tumor fever and pain/inflammation in that area are signs of cancerous tissue dying, then well, it kind of makes the vampire misfires worth it. i'll be asking for a diffinitive answer from dr. doom on the 14th as to whether he thinks it was tumor fever or not and will update you all on what i find out.

i must clarify that when i quote the fellow cancer fighter regarding the "tumors dying", that simply means that parts of the tissue as a whole are dying which causes the mass to shrink, not that the entire cancerous area is dying. it does not mean that lefty is gone when this happens simply that a little more has been chipped away from the S.O.B.
