As my faithful blog-readers know…Last year I was
having horrible pain, bloating, GI issues, pain in my back, etc…we just thought
it was a chemo/treatment reaction. So, when the problems persisted then
got worse in March/April I looked all the symptoms up then put them
together. They all pointed to gallbladder! So, I went to my
oncologist & surgeon with this info and they both concurred and said it was
common for women in my age group (35-50) to have their gallbladder removed
within a year of chemo. LUCKY ME!
So, after an ultrasound (to prove no stones or tumors,
etc.), upper/lower GI scopes (to prove no tumors or problems), and then a
HIDA-scan (to prove my gallbladder isn’t functioning properly – which it
AIN’T), I am now insurance-approved to have my nasty little pain in the ass
taken out!
So, a year later here I am about to go under the knife
again. I’m bummed, but happy that these pains and problems will go away
within a month!!!! Can you say lower
than my already low-fat diet?
