Thank You for Loving Me~

謝謝，你／妳，愛我。
對不起，讓大家為我擔心。
原來疏於照顧的部落格會透露主人的心情。

My dear Papa was not good these days.
Papa suddenly lost his voice for unknown reason since April 7.
A series of physical examinations were assigned and done during the followed two weeks.
At April 26, according to the results of computerized axial tomography scan (CT scan) on chest, we were told that Papa may have suspicious lung cancer with metastasis by the doctors of Emergency and ENT clinics.

我親愛的爸爸生病了。
四月七日那天，爸爸不明原因失聲，求診經過兩週未見好轉，亦查不出原因。
四月二十六日，急診科及耳鼻喉醫師根據胸腔電腦斷層的結果，初步診斷為肺癌疑有轉移。

The coming days Papa was suggested to take more detail examinations.
Bronchoscopy and Positron emission tomography (PET) were carried out to identify the cancer type of origin and the possible sites of metastasis.
At May 7, I accompanied Papa to the hospital for the results. We were happy when the pathologic diagnosis due to Bronchoscopy had no solid conclusion for the tumor mass located on the middle area of the lung. "Benign neoplasm" was typed on the records of Papa.

接下來一連串的檢查。支氣管鏡切片，全身正子攝影。。。
五月七日回診時，看到醫生在病歷上打出 benign neoplasm 的字樣，
讓全家人的心情都為之振奮。

There are two tumor mass being detected in Papa's lung. One is located in the middle area of lung, which had been sampled by Bronchoscopy for pathologic diagnosis and diagnosed to be benign. The other one is located on the upper part of left lung. The doctor assigned Papa to take the needle aspiration with CT scan for guidance for the second tumor mass.
Papa went to hospital this morning for the examination.

由於主要病灶有兩處，主治醫師相當謹慎，建議爸爸對左肺上方的腫瘤團塊進行病理檢查。
於是今天上午，爸爸又去做了電腦斷層導引切片。

Not yet a firm diagnosis was obtained indeed made me anxious.
Hopefully that the second tumor mass might not be so malignant.
Nothing to do but pray the good blessings for Papa.
Wish the day at May 28 we can have a good result from the doctor.

病情尚處於不確定狀態，讓人心急但也偷偷抱著希望。
在心裡不斷地祈求天上的神祇保佑。
希望二十八日回診時，賞給我們全家人一個奇蹟！
