Life can turn on a dime.
Last week I found a shiny new dime. My father died the next day.

I finally got to a Gastroenterologist (sp) yesterday after months of belly area pain. Looks like I'm headed for the hospital soon. Something is wrong between the liver and the gall bladder, possibly a clogged bile duct. And possibly with cancer cells.

His very mention of the words cancer and metastatic threw me for a loop. It was the first feeling of fear in a long while. This doc is young, smart, caring, but needs just a WEE bit more bedside manner. Or I need to be a LOT tougher.

At any rate, surgery is around the corner.

I'll keep you posted,

Love and light,

Lisa
