'Dr Pimple Popper': Jackie has a 9-year-old tumor on her back, can Dr Lee get rid of it for her?
Jackie's personality makes one fall in love with her immediately, but one thing that has been holding her back in the nine-year-old tumor that has been on her back for a long time. Jackie revealed that it started with a bump that was very small in size. However, the bump grew bigger in size after she gave birth to her sixth child.
Jackie recalled that she had gained over 60lbs when she got pregnant with her sixth child. While she was eagerly looking forward to welcoming a new member in her family, things were getting uncomfortable for her due to the bump that was growing in size. Jackie admitted that the bump had affected her confidence.
Since the bump was 14 inches long and 12 inches wide in size, it was hard to hide it from the world. Admitting that there had been times when she was a victim of stares, Jackie revealed she wanted to get rid of the tumor that has been taking shape on her back. Even though Jackie had visited a doctor previously, she was informed that there was nothing to worry about.
However, that doctor had asked Jackie to get an MRI scan. Unfortunately, she did not have that amount of money in her hand at that time. This made Jackie make the decision that it was better to leave it alone as it was not something to worry about. Once she saw the size of the bump growing, Jackie knew it was time to get it treated.
Jackie revealed that one person to push her to get it tested was her husband, Michael. Even though Michael had been supportive of her, he knew that somewhere having that bump on her back gets on her way of living her life freely. Jackie revealed that at times they are making video and she is conscious about her bump as she tries to make sure it is not seen.
At the same time, even though it does not pain, it has caused hindrance for her to carry out day to day activities. Dr Sandra Lee knew she wanted to help Jackie but to be sure about what it is, she decided to let Jackie take an MRI test. She made it clear that it would be safer to be sure about what it is than to start a procedure and stop midway.
Jackie agreed to get a scan and wait for the results, but will they work in her favor?
