Got a good call from the hospital yesterday,they informed that "part 1" of my Radio Embolization test went well and I am a candidate for this procedure, March 24th.  I wish they could do today, but I understand that there's a ton of number crunching involved and everything needs to be perfect.  There was some talk about have surgery to remove large adrenal gland tumor too. As far as as I'm concerned, it can't get here fast enough.

In the meantime I've had a bad stomach ache for about 6 weeks. Several doctors think it's the adrenal gland tumor putting pressure on my stomach.  I'm barely eating and drinking, I'm throwing up a lot, mostle dry heaves, and I have occassional diaherea, ugh! I'd be remissed if I didn't say that I'm exhausted all the time.  I go to bed, wake up and I equally as tired! Very difficult to deal with...

 

I'll chime in after my surgeries, peace!

    I'm sorry things are so rough for you,

    but it's awesome that a surgical option is underway.  Hopefully, they can get that adrenal gland tumor out of there, and get you to a more confortable place soon.  Will be looking to hear from you with updates!

    Big hugs~AA
