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..)
you will get healthy again!!!

:o Hoping with all I have that it's just a blip on the radar and nothing treatable/curable/go-awayable. :hug:

Thinking of you.

Hope you get some good news soon

Hugs

:hug: MD

Wil have you in my thoughts. Hoping all goes well.

Anyone else been in this situation? I can't be the only one!

Holy Toledo batman!!!!!! I hope its nothing too serious and they find nothing else in there.

So, anyway, now I'm feeling pretty darn grateful to have had a gallstone that needed removing...

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:

Holy crap MD. That is full on, gall stones are good for something after all. Thank goodness they found it and good to hear it is low grade. Big :hug: to you though. What a shock you must have got.

Best of luck with the scans etc. xxxxx We'll be here for you.

Best wishes in the coming week MD. I hope all the tests come back clear :hug:

{{big hugs}} I will be thinking of you and hope you get the best possible outcome.

Hope its something easily fixed, no wonder you were in shock, i think your thread title was perfectly accurate.

Oh No MD! I hope this is something treatable :hug:

oh no hun :( Hugs! I hope they can give you some more answers when you see the oncologist.

:hug: MD. I'm so sorry to hear this. I haven't been through it but they did think I had a tumor not long after my surgery. Thankfully it came back clear. Hang in there. I hope the news is good.
