If it weren't for the careful eyes of an excavator, working at an ancient underground tomb in Egypt, archaeologists may never have found it: a lonely tooth, nestled in the curve of a worn-down pelvis. At first, site supervisor and archaeologist Melinda King Wetzel thought she was looking at a fetus from the time of the Egyptian pharaohs. But when she showed the grave to the bioarchaeological director of the site, Gretchen Dabbs, the discovery turned out to be even rarer in nature. Along with another site supervisor, Anna Stevens, Wetzel and Dabbs claim to have found the oldest evidence of a mature ovarian teratoma, or germ cell tumor. Today, the mass looks like a calcified clump of disorganized and fully formed tissues, like bone and teeth.

A 3,000-year-old burial chamber has revealed not only the oldest ovarian tumor (containing teeth!), but also ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding ways to alleviate its symptoms.

At first I tried doodling a self portrait, but I cringed so hard I'm pretty sure I pulled something.
So a teratoma it is.

just imagine teratoma are beasts with Engines Up Top that explode into masses of horror movie tendrils when they get too worked up or exhausted or change between forms. their shapes get more consumed and less sensical as they surrender more to the Old God inside.

This is my representation of The Flesh from the Magnus Archives podcast! The Flesh is my favorite Fear (second is Desolation). I think it draws me in because I find it personally relatable and am always intrigued by the bodies I study as a veterinary student.
We're all made of the same stuff, from bacteria to whales, held together by ancient proteins. Our bodies are us, and yet we have much less control over them than we'd like. Life is biological, and the experience is chemical.
The Desolation

I'm scared.
A few days ago, I was found to have a teratoma--a somewhat rare and disgusting, but most likely benign, kind of cyst/tumor--on my right ovary. Then, today, I was diagnosed with PCOS due to my elevated DHEA-sulfate levels.
Is it good that I discovered all this so I can have it treated? Yes, of course! But I'm feeling nervous and honestly kind of hopeless about what lies ahead.
PCOS is correlated with higher risks of all sorts of wonderful things: insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, endometrial cancer, anxiety, depression... All that good stuff. So now I'm freaking out about how my upcoming glucose tolerance test will go, but more importantly, how I'm going to live the rest of my life. I'm already on a ton of different medications for my other health conditions. I don't want another one just for this. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to "treat myself" with a nice dessert or even a slightly sugary drink like lemonade again, either. I don't want to permanently give up my favorite foods for one stupid disease that just decided to worm its way into my life.
I don't know if anyone in my family understands just how distraught I am. It's not their fault; I keep making stupid jokes about my "inevitable demise" to cope/divert attention from how I'm really feeling, and even when they do see that I'm worried, I play everything off like I'm completely fine. But I'm not. My mind is racing at billions of light years per second. I'm barely holding myself together on the outside. And on the inside?
I'm frightened and absolutely lost. I feel like an inferior version of my brother. I was born first, but I also have the vast majority of medical issues between the two of us, with this whole situation increasing the gap further; it feels like the universe used me as a rough draft before "perfecting" him. I know that's not true, but emotions don't really listen to reason and truth, you know? I don't feel anything negative toward him, and I don't wish any tragedies on him to "make up" for what I'm going through. I'm just confused and upset. I'm scared that I won't really have a chance to simply live life the way others my age do.
I don't want to lose my ability to enjoy life.
