Hebrew manages to make oncology adorable

Today was a whole lot of the usual: Four patients, four different languages. One woman refusing breast cancer treatment because her husband and her rabbi decided against it. One woman caught early by her first screening mammography. One caught very very late with an 8x8 cm mass.

The cute part.

A mass, or lump, in Hebrew, is: Goosh. (Already cute, right?)

It gets better.

A palpable mass, or lump, is: Goosh namoosh.

Best language ever.
