Monday, June 8, 2009 | A General Update story

 

 

Well tomorrow I go in the hospital and let them romp around in my stomach and my pancreas.  It seems there is another small lesion that they discovered while they were doing an ultrasound for my GI problems.  They want to take a close look to make sure it's not another secreting tumor so they are doing an endocscopic ultrasound.   I have been stuck so much these last few weeks and there are more orders out for more lab work.  This is so discouraging, I just want to sit down and cry.  The only bright spot in my life is that I have my last day at work on July 16th.  It just can't come soon enough.  I'm so miserable and my stomach area hurts so badly.  I'm sick of shots, sick of fighting with doctors.  I'm seriously going to consider that second surgery despite the risks if things don't start getting better.  This is just no way to live.

 

I just really don't know if this will ever go away.  They want to wait 5 - 10 years to see if the radiation will take effect.  I don't know if I can put up with this that long.  I wish someone would find a cure!

    Oh...I'm so sorry that you're hurting. Acro is bad enough without having gut problems. We do begin to feel like a pin cushion from all the blood work too! Sometimes a good cry helps....we are human, but then we have to get up and kick ass as JokeyJ would say. Thinking of you and wanting you to know that I care. JaneyBell

    Well I finally got pissed off enough to call Pfizer. I wanted to know "EXACTLY" what nerve in the gut the Somavert targets. After wading through layers of bureacracy I was finally transferred to a pharmacist. All he could tell me was that nausea is a side effect for some people but no one has had problems with abdominal pain. Come on! It says so in their list of side affects. It just affects people differently was all he could tell me. I'll be SO glad when I'm off this crazy job as well. I think that will help considerably. I know the more stressed I get, the more it hurts! I sure hope things get better with you dearie. I still think we ought to all meet in Vegas and swap stories. Interested?

    You've been having your share of grief and then some Northwest. I hope that July 16th gets here quickly for you. It will be nice for you to reduce some of your stress level.
