Abdominal Ultrasound results not very good...

[Deleted]

"There is no such thing as a free lunch" - Robert Heinlein

Had a complete abdominal ultrasound done on Mar 14 - finally got the results - gallbladder is definitely diseased and contains sludge. Worst news is that there are several 'suspicious' areas in the liver which indicate possible malignancy - Will most likely have to get a liver biopsy done to determine if this is the case. Have HIDA scan scheduled for Apr 19 - depending on those results we'll see what develops. Still determined to have gallbladder removed and definitely have the belly button hernia repaired, since it is getting worse. Any and all prayers and positive vibes are appreciated - I have a positive attitude and faith in the good Lord. Just wanted to let the Phorum Phamily know....

Sorry to hear about this guy. We are all getting older one day at a time, but I hope your medical issues will progress slowly and allow you some time to stick around and make more baskets, do a little gardening, or whatever you choose. Take it easy, worrying about it can get you down too. Try to think pleasant thoughts!

Thanks everyone for the prayers and good vibes. The HIDA scan is where they inject radioactive dye into a vein to show how well the gallbladder fills and empties, and also checks liver function. In the meanwhile, I'm taking milk thistle capsules (to detox liver and help to rebuild healthy liver cells) - also discovered that one of my favorite spices - curry powder has some anti imflammatory and anti carcinogenic properties. Ether way, I WILL beat whatever this is - my kids lost their mother to cancer last year, and their maternal grandfather to cancer this year - I do not think that the good Lord would be so cruel as to do it to them again.....Thanks again for the prayers.....much love to the Phorum Phamily!!!
