I thought I would give you a quick catchup. I saw the radiology specialist yesterday. I like him and trust him. He like the GI doctor and surgeon are concerned about a small mass I have in my abdomen. He, like the other 2 doctors, do not know if it has anything to do with the pain. But I am being scheduled for a needle biopsy and I will find out the date it will be scheduled sometime next week. Of course, it is getting close to Christmas so I'm sure it will make scheduling more interesting. I refuse to get stressed over this. I admit, I'm more concerned about the pain because the pain very much interferes with my life. Thank you for all of the prayers. I know many of you continue to pray for me and thought you deserve to know the next chapter in my journey.

Thank you for the update, Karen. Having pain and not knowing the cause has to weigh heavy on your mind as well as your handsome hubby's mind. But, it sounds as though you have a good team working on a plan to figure it all out. I appreciate the fact that you will not allow it to stress you out because it is out of your hands right now. Prayers for you continue as well as positive thoughts and bunches of hugs. You are appreciated, loved and we seriously care about you. Hope you get your scheduled test sooner than you expect and you can get relief from the pain! Hugs, Laura

Thank you. I have been so grateful for the thousands of prayers that have gone to God's ears during the past almost 2 years. I'm determined to look at my blessings He continues to pour onto me. I will not let satan claim a victory. I hope you and your hubby will be able to come to Florida soon and enjoy the sunshine.

Thank you. The radiologist was rattling off a list of things it could be and I'm sure he didn't list everything. I'm so grateful that the doctor who cared for me on my last ER visit, set the ball rolling to find out what was going on.

Keeping you in my prayers. I am sure you let us know the result of the biopsy. Glad you are not lettings this stress you out. Hopefully they find out what the cause of your pain is

I promise I will let everyone know the results as soon as I can. As I've told friends, why waste good stress if you don't need too. So far all of the doctors have been puzzled about this pain, so I guess I am an interesting patient so said the radiologist's nurse.

Thank you. I hope no treatment will be needed for this mass, but the surgeon is standing in the wings if I need surgery. I am very blessed in so many ways. I just hope along the way they figure out the pain.

Thank you I find it is always a privilege to pray for others. I love praying for others, but it took me decades to learn that just as I love to pray for others, I had to learn that people love to pray for me.

Thank you for the update! I am so sorry that you are in so much pain! Doctors used to help keep people comfortable but now that so many have abused their or someone elses medications the ones that really need help cannot get it! I will keep you in my prayers and wait for another update! I wish I could help you in any way but know that if you need even someone to vent to, I am here! Love and hugs, Lori

It's good to hear from you. I hope you are doing much better. I agree with you that too many now suffer horribly. Too many suicides are caused by this. I continue to travel the medical route. I feel blessed to have had 4 doctors who have/are doing the best they can to set my body to rights.
