I spent the day at the cancer ctr again today awaiting results from the pathology of the fluid they extracted from my abdomen on Friday night. They aren't all back yet, but so far there has been no sign of malignant cancer in the fluid...which is a relief.
The only problem is, that there are many other ways that the cancer could manifest, and the Dr. is worried there might be a tumor blocking the flow to/from my liver. It could also be that my organs are just worn out...and are weeping. (I would explain that more like crying... they have been through so much this year!) The Dr. found that I am having a systemic histamine reaction as well...and that my blood pressure has skyrocketed even more. My vision is now so blurry that I can hardly focus well enough to see anything. I don't have to look while typing, so I am hoping this makes sense, because I can't see the screen.
I have to go get drained agan at 9am and have yet another ct scan in the afternoon. Another day of fasting, poking, waiting, trying to maintain a calmness...and trying not to fall apart. I look about 5 months pregnant right now...and it is so strange, because it just appeared one day. My poor body...
