Well shit.... I was enjoying my time in Florida (more on that later), I started having pretty bad upper right abdominal pain. I immediately feared kidney issues (side effect of being a kidney donor).... but all told, it seemed like gallbladder disease. I tried to suck it up and avoid the ER mostly because my insurance, while great and a national network, can be a nightmare out of state.
So I returned to Philly and made an appt with a doctor in my medical group in NYC. I headed up to do that and hang with my sister and niece.
I went full on self advocate and the doc thought probably gallbladder... so I got an ultrasound and....
Liver nodule... 2.5x2.4x3 cm....
hopefully benign.
MRI with contrast is next but have to get the kidney levels back first.
yes I’m terrified.
I’m not done yet.
ps- anyone who tells me cancer is caused by emotional blocks or tells me “this too shall pass” or gives me any one liners or BS like that will be hexed and haunted in a scary way when I die. How you can support me: affirm
how scary this is; tell me you are here; listen; send a box of kittens or puppies.
