Back in August I had some noticeable swelling in my lower abdomen and got a doctor appointment to check it out. With scheduling and everything else it took until September to get to see the doctor. He ordered a CT Scan for early October. He contacted me and sent me the CT technician’s notes on the scan. It was described as “an extremely large tumor” in my abdomen 16x20x26cm which is about the size of a piece of paper and a couple inches thick. Yup, that’s not good. Tomorrow I am having a biopsy done on it to see what the diagnosis is. Pretty sure it’s malignant (cancer) but even if it’s benign it has to be dealt with because it’s displacing the bladder and kidneys and starting to cause other issues, swelling, pain, kidney blockage etc. I have already talked to an oncology surgeon and he is not recommending surgery. It has encapsulated the main aorta and veins that feed the lower body and it is too complex and dangerous to safely try to cut it out. When a “surgeon” doesn’t want to cut that tells me you better listen to him. I expect radiation and/or chemo treatment so I am getting prepared for that plan.
Heidi and Chelsea are helping cover classes and I will still be at most of them as I can. I may not be able to move or show you how the moves go but I will grab volunteers to help show best technique. I appreciate your help on this. I will take all the prayers I can get and I will get this group posted as more information is available.
