Update on me
Hi everyone,
I want to thank everyone for all of their prayers and well wishes. Here is my update. I had a CT
scan on 8-7 which stated they thought I had liver cancer. I had an MRI on 8-18 and more blood work on 8-19. I met with my gastro doctor yesterday. He says that the MRI and blood work indicate a benign tumor. I had more blood work today. I meet with an oncological surgeon tomorrow. He will be setting me up to remove my gall bladder and do a liver biopsy at the same time. This should confirm that the tumor is benign.
So I will be leaving for Ocean City MD on Saturday with my aunt,uncle,cousin and his children.
It has been a roller coaster of a month - thanks to my OH friends for making it a little easier.
Now I am off to try out the roller coaster at the shore. The last time I went, I got stuck in a ride and thought they would need the jaws of life to get me out. It was very embarrasing. This year I will be able to fit okay. That is a good feeling.

Tammy - I'm so sorry to hear about your upcoming surgery but at least you have some answers and will be in my prayers that everything comes out just fine - I'm sure it will.
I hope you can forget about this for the time being and enjoy your beach visit - I love OC, MD - its an awesome place. Have a great time on the roller coaster, too - I can't wait til I'm sure I can fit into comfortably to ride one again!! Heck, I'm looking forward to possibly not needing a seatbelt extender on the plane next week - that will be a huge WOW moment for me if I can pull it off.
Now go, relax and enjoy!! Keep us posted on how you're doing...

Sorry you've had to go through what you've gone through, Tammy. But I'm glad you're okay. Keep us updated on everything.
And have lots and lots of fun at Ocean City, MD. That is my most favorite place. I love it there and I haven't been in a few years. I miss it and look forward to going back. So say hello to OC for me :)
And have a blast on the roller coaster. You will have enough room in that seat for two Tammys :)

Tammy,
Glad to hear you have decent info at this point. I know it will be a little harder to do than anticipated, but do try to enjoy your vacation and enjoy all the new experiences you will be able to have.
Also please keep us updated, and the prayers and support are continuing, have no doubt!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
