I think it's time for a new team. I know what's wrong with me. I'm having stomach cramps that spread around to my lower back (kind of like labor). It's the diverticulitis. Called doctor. They want me to go to hospital instead of just calling in a scrip for it. The diagnostic tool for this is a very expensive CT scan. I'm beginning to feel they're sick of me and want me gone. Thank The Lord there are tons of highly-qualified oncologists in this country.

Penny,
You are close enough to a doctor I know who can get your liver back in shape. PM if you want details. L-Glutathione via IV is my strong recommendation.
Best,
Karen

​Well, everyone, thanks for asking about me. Love you all. Got back from Disney family vacation about 12:30am. While there, I started with abdominal cramping @ Wednesday. It got progressively worse until we got back. At which point, my husband took me to the ER, the pain was so bad. Poop - I am literally full of it. Never knew such a silly word could cause so much pain. I have been slightly constipated but not bad so I was surprised. I thought for sure it was my diverticulitis. I'm usually on top of my game with prune juice, senna, etc. The doctor gave me some weird stuff to drink - 1/2 bottle every 4 hours, plus some milk of magnesia.

Oh, yeah, bloodwork came back - liver enzymes even higher, including the bilirubin, which had always been stable in the past, even as the enzymes went up. I have to follow up with that with my oncologist on Monday.

big SIGH....

By the Grace of God, go I.

Penny,

Here you are in the hospital and you are keeping "all of us" in your prayers instead of asking all of us to pray for you. You are amazing! We will all be praying for you my dear. You are an inspiration.

Take Care

Dear Penny, I can imagine what you are going through and admire your fighting spirit. 3 years ago my liver enzymes went up and I needed to have a stent put in a bile duct because a tumor was pushing on it. I was very afraid but now the tumor is gone. I hope it is not that but if it is, it is not the end. I am thinking of you all the time and sending hugs.

Continuing prayers, Penny.
