I’m learning a lot of medical vocab words in this adventure! Today’s word is “spiculated” which means a lump of tissue with spikes or points… thus = starfish.

Today’s MRI shows that the starfish is 2.5 x 1.9 x 2.3 cm… this is not a big starfish. Why do I feel like humming a tune from “Much ado about nothing”? But of course it isn’t nothing.

The other word I learned recently was “nulliparous” which just means a woman who has never given birth to a children. I resent this word. Here’s a quote from Healthline website: “In observing health conditions in nuns over hundreds of years, researchers have found that nulliparous women also have a greater risk of breast cancer.” Read more of this article.

So here I am, a nulliparous woman with a spiculated starfish (is that redundant?). Anyone for a game of scrabble?
