Re: Liver Enzyme ?

Sending lots of good thoughts your way, while you do the "hurry up and waiting" part. I'll have to try harder to keep you preoccupied at Scrabble, I guess. But since you're beating the socks off me right now, that plan will have to wait 'till we start a new game (smile).

Love,
Debbie Laxague

Re: Liver Enzyme ?

PinkGirl - Sorry to hear you are having to play this horrible waiting game again. Hope you can get the MRI and results soon and that it is not a met. Hang in there as best you can on the wait..... salmon fishing sounds exciting - or at least eating the fresh catch sounds yummy. If you do scrabble on fb I'll play a game with you. Pam

Re: Liver Enzyme ?

Hi Pink.....

Thanks for replying....geez, it seems like this process has been going on forever.

Of course you are nervous.....who wouldn't be, right? I feel confident that all will turn out well though but will look for that official good news from you next week.

Love you "sister!" Praying all is well.

Re: Liver Enzyme ?

Hey Pink,

Somehow I missed your update that you now have to have an MRI. I agree with Chrisy that it just has to be one more hemangioma joining in.

No shopping or casinos but you still have to eat - at least you can fit in fine dining while you are in the big city.

I'll be thinking about you next week. Please keep us updated.

Re: Liver Enzyme ?

Poor Pink,
All this hurry up and waiting has to be driving you crazy by now! But I have to agree with Chrisy and Gerri...I really believe it will be another hemangioma. I did some reading on this as I'm sure you have and it's very common to have more then one. (Although I realize until you get the results back and know for sure it's going to be stressful while you wait.

I think you can still make it to the malls and casino's. By the time you take your Ativan before the scan...that add in the time for the MRI...you will be calm, awake and ready to go when your done. I'll be keeping good thoughts for you!

Chelee

Re: Liver Enzyme ?

I hope it's nothing. My enzymes have been up and down since treatment 5 years ago. I went through a lot of worry about my liver. I had an MRI too. It showed gallstones, but nothing wrong with liver. SOme of us have delicate livers.
