tumor

Rumor has it that they found a 'tumor' in my upper jaw,actually in medical terminology it should be called as 'complex odontoma'(or compound odontoma? totally have no idea)

Yeah,I know,it sounds horrible, my mom even started to cry a little bit when she heard of this on the other side of the phone(but women at her age can be very emotional)

I was told that my case is some sort of malformation,and it's not as bad as it sounds,a small surgery will make everything all right.But it still upsets me,and i want it removed asap.

The Doc. showed me the x-ray and there it is,the tiny white thing,embeded in my upper jaw.

"Is that a tiny tooth,doc?"I was confused.

"Er,you may call that an unmature tooth surrounded with fibrous membrane..."

That makes sense since I only have 27 teeth,but then I cried.

As for me,the explanation of 'tumor' seems more acceptable since the word 'unmature' makes me feel guilty and sad,that poor little thing never get the chance to see the outside world(i know that's weird)

Now I planned on leaving it be but my mom wounldn't approve of it,what am I supposed to do?

And I wanna copy the x-ray but the doc. wouldn't allow it.

I had a 'tumor',and I didn't get to copy my own x-ray?That's unfair.
