Smile My Liver is Happy

Just got the phone call from my onc. All is well. It is a large
hemangioma ... I think I have about 13 of them now. ...

What a relief.............. I had a reaction to the contrast and I'm wiped out
by benydryl but I'm happy!!!! Thanks to all of you who were right there
beside me ... many thanks.
