Update

Published by cwilliams at 1:57 pm under chit chat

Hi all, Some of you have heard that I have been sick , I spent Monday and Tuesday in the hospital with sever stomach pain. I can’t eat or drink without having terrible pain. They did an ultrasound and found a cystic mass on my pancreas that abuts the hepatic artery and covers the pancreatic neck/body junction, it is 7.0 x 7.2 x 6.2 cm in greatest axial. So they sent me for a CT scan with contrast. The CT scan confirmed with the ultrasound found. I beg to go home….. so they reluctantly let me come home as long as I follow through with all doctor appointments and take my meds. Duh!!(I so hate being in a hospital) I saw my primary care doctor on Tuesday(late afternoon) Dr. Ragno, he gave me a referral to Dr. Burns (he does General Surgery)I went to see him today (Wednesday) at 10:15am. Dr. Burns is sending me tomorrow morning 9:45am for a MRI with contrast to get a better look to do the surgery. They are not really sure what kind of mass it is or why it is there….One thing that all of the doctors have said is that ugly C word…….either way I will be having surgery and he will do a biopsy. Okay that made me very tired and I’ve cried so much this week and gone through every emotion that my body & mind are exhausted, so I’m going to lie down for awhile I will do my best to keep you guys updated. If you all could say a small prayer for me I would greatly appreciate it. I don’t think I have every been this scared in my life

Hugs to you all and think of me when you stamp I so miss it!!

    Oh, no! That’s got to be so rough on you! I have a friend going through this right now. It turned out not to be the Big C so try not to worry too much. Easy for me to say. Take care of yourself, Candy!

    Candy,
    My friend at church just had an MRI for a mass on her pancreas too — it turned out to be just fatty tissue — non-growing. I will pray that yours is something similar. I am sorry and know that this is a stressful time for you and your family. Prayers for strength and hope and hugs coming your way!!

    Hugs Candy, I’m thinking about you, lots of prayers.
