Went to meet the international radiologist this morning and he spoke to me on the procedure tt's gg to take place tmr morning.. this is what he'll do:
1. run some test to find out which is the main blood vessel supplying blood to the excessive blood vessels in the muscle
2. run another test to see if my blood will reject the chemical tt they'll be injection into the main blood vessels - if it rejects, it'll shoot right up to my heart, which they dunno what will be the complications few yrs down the road!
3. if my blood dun reject the chemical, they'll go ahead with the procedure.. tt is to inject the chemical into the main blood vessel to irritate the excess blood vessels in the muscle & BURN the excess blood vessels
but hor.. by injecting the chemical into the muscle, it'll cause my skin around the area to discolour! (i dun wan to look like MJ leh.. heehee)
and the estimated cost? $1.8k! ya lah, its cheaper than Raffles Hospital (RH quote $4k for this precedure, $8k for surgery)... but.. he cant gurantee tt the excess blood vessels will not grow again! even surgery to remove the muscle oso cant remove all the excess blood vessels
cant make use of medisave to make partial payment oso cos its not surgery.. gov subsidise only the bed, not for this injection cos its done by xray dept, so its consider as private!
honestly, i cant afford the medical bill! hoho..and yah, i've got no insurance to claim from & im cash poor..
okay, and even if i have the cash.. i dont think i wanna spend tt much $$ to inject chemical into blood or surgery to remove the excess blood vessels but it will still grow again in my muscle sooner or later
so... after much consideration, i decide to leave my abnormal muscle alone cos im just a poor office girl
