MD's Radical Life Revision

Well I went for my post gallbladder-ectomy appointment today and head-honcho Surgeon man sat there calm as calm and told me they found a lymphoma in my gallbladder.

I looked out the window and thought, "Just like that, in one sentence, my life has changed."

So, it's CT scans on Sat, another appt in a week's time and then I'll find out about a referal to an oncologist. Apparently lymphomas in gallbladders are sooper dooper rare, lucky for me it's "low-grade" - I'll be hanging on to that fact by the teeth if necessary while I wait the next week out.

However I already have been experiencing a bloating feeling around the liver and a stronger than usual need to sleep - both of these things are typical b-cell follicular lymphoma symptoms. So in a way I feel curiously calm, now that it's out in the open.

Sorry mods, please rename the title if you think it's necessary.

:hug: hun. I dont know what else to say.

:hug: :hug: I hope that they can finish all their testing and have you on the road to recovery soon.

OH No MD!!
i hope it wont be to hard for them to treat(i have no idea..)

Thank goodness you needed that gall bladder out! I'm so sorry you are going through the stress atm :hug:. I hope it is something that is easily treatable and you'll be feeling great again soon.

Marydean, what a rough thing to have to deal with! I guess that gallbladder of yours was a blessing in disguise leading to early diagnosis.

I will be praying for the best possible outcome for you. :hug:
