Cancer

Now I have to go back to my gynecologist since they found it early enough. Hopefully, it could be curable so that I don’t have to get another surgery because if I do this time they may remove the left ovary. I'm not giving up hope that they will save it.

I experienced a handful of blood tests, being poked and prodded more times than one would wish for. Again, the test wasn't quite right. So, I had another CT scan and then returned to the surgeon. Let me tell you, by this time I was about 4 weeks into this ordeal with the lump, now forever known as Bernie.

Alcohol was going to kill my liver because of the Hepatitis C. If you want to start drinking again, might as well put your other foot in the grave. Life is about change. In order for this gift to work, you have to work on what gave it to you. After 6 months of follow-ups, I'm cancer-free.

I was diagnosed at the age of 42 on May 12th, 2017 with stage 3 colorectal cancer. I had been experiencing "bowel issues" for almost 2 years prior to my diagnosis. Easily explained away as stress (I was in pharmacy school at the time). Also my younger sister had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. We had no previous family history of any types of cancer.
