Not the Post I Had Hoped to Write

I had hoped to write another positive post something like, "Yahoo, more good test results!"

Well, that was my thoughts but here is my reality; I am having a liver biopsy tomorrow. I found out today that the PET and CT scans show an enlarged liver thus the need for a biopsy. This weekend I discovered myself that my liver was enlarged. Well at first I did not know why my abdomen was tender nor why it felt firm but then I researched the internet and found out that where I felt the changes is where the liver is.

I have felt some tenderness of my right ribs for a few weeks and today I found out why - I have fluid in the right lung. Dr. Patel feels that the fluid is present because of the enlarged liver.

The good news is that I don't have cancer of the bones because honestly with the ribs hurting for the past few weeks the thought had crossed my mind.

I will have the biopsy results on Monday. So meanwhile here is what I am thinking, let's pray it is mono so I can write that "Yahoo!" post.
