Update on the "being a patient" post....I had the abdominal ultrasound 2 weeks ago and it showed cysts on my ovaries, polyps on my gallbladder, and benign lesions on my liver. As I was watching the ultrasound being done on a screen in the room, I saw the liver lesions and got very scared. I had to wait several hours to talk to the doctor's office. They were some of the longest hours of my life! In my mind, I had Mom and Dad moved in here, taking the kids to and from school and me to and from chemo. appointments. I was sure it was ovarian cancer.
Thank God, all findings appear to be non-issues. I saw my GYN a few days ago and he told me he is "absolutely sure" the ovarian cysts are not the source of my abd. discomfort and don't require any intervention. He also doesn't think the gallbladder polyps or liver lesions are an issue.
So....at this point, I do nothing. the abdominal discomfort is something I can live with and I don't want to pursue this with all kinds of diagnostics. Especially knowing the end result may very well be a mystery.
The whole thing has served as a reminder of how very fortunate we are to have good health. It is absolutely something we take for granted every day.
