Intro

Well, if you're reading this, you already know my news. On August 11, I found out that I have a cancerous tumor on my liver. To make a long story short, I went to the emergency room on July 12th for an odd pain in the right side of my abdomen. Not sharp or debilitating, just dull and constant (and different). They did a CT scan which revealed something on my liver. So after doctor visits, an MRI and a biopsy, we got the news. I've since been through a PET scan, mammogram, colonoscopy, EGD, and a pelvic ultrasound. All these tests/scans have revealed no signs of cancer anywhere else. This is very encouraging news! We met with two surgical oncologists, and decided to go with Dr. Kooby at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute. My surgery will be Sept. 25, and I will probably be in the hospital a week. My recovery time after surgery will be around 6 weeks. I will get more information closer to my surgery date. We don't know yet if I'll need to go through chemotherapy. I am still feeling well, which is the odd part about this whole thing. But I consider that a good sign. I will write more when I know more!
