More testing tomorrow [View all]

Scheduled for an MRCP (an MRI that looks at the liver and pancreas) and blood work to look for cancer markers in those organs. I don't know much about this - only that there is a concern that abdominal pain without obvious cause apparently makes doctors nervous in cancer survivors. No stress there, right? LOL!

Prefer to think its just indigestion at this point. I recall back in the 80s, being shipped off to the ER with a possible ruptured appendix. While there, I farted, felt human again, so they sent me home. Yes, indeed I paid $150 to fart in the ER. Hopefully this week's story will make as fond a memory as that one.

Thoughts and well wishes greatly appreciated. I am SO ready to get beyond all of this scary talk from doctors and just live my life, knowing that each and every one of you understand that from which I speak.
