Last night's cyst bandage had a little blood on it! Which is good because vascularization is not something that cysts have, and I'm hoping that if there's blood moving through the "empty" space, the little microbuilders and microdestroyers in the blood will really dig in and remove/repurpose the remaining part of the cyst structure. (If you remember the proper name of the little guys above, please comment and remind me)

This morning (Happy November!) I changed the bandage after a short soak in the hot tub, and tried to express any fluid in the, what's more like a flat flap than like the bulging node of 8 weeks ago. I didn't get ANY of the cheesy yellow keratin, without pain I had a flow of actual blood, thin blood but red (Mwahahahah tough luck vampires) and it seems like my theory about vascularization may be correct. Bandaged it back up, gonna do more hot cups of tea held against my sternum today and see where we are tomorrow.
