Now let me tell you about the journey the Lord has me on…

This awakening to reason started December 2013 with a colonoscopy, I guess it would be November 2012 with an abnormal colonoscopy having 15 polyps. Thinking back it started where everything starts, at the beginning - - - BIRTH, because there has been extraordinary God showings every since then, they will be notated as “Flashbacks”.

So back to December 2013, my follow up to the November 2012 visit, I only had 3 polyps, that was awesome, I thought. So life went on but I had begin hurting in various parts of my abdominal cavity, hum?

For weeks my chest would hurt every time I got up after lying curled on my side. About the third day the person that went with me, in 2013, reminded me that the doctors said “while in recovery, there was a problem with getting her heart started so we had to do deep chest messages to get her heart started”. Just a note: if you go with someone to a procedure where they are put in a dream state of awareness, just because they are verbally responding doesn’t mean they remember any of the conversation, remind them later of important contents of the conversations. And be kind and don’t ask unnecessary questions, smile! TYL, for the pain when the medicine wears off, the discomfort reminded me, I’m alive.

It was no wonder lying in a fetal position was comfortable, but rolling out of it was “Oh my Lord, what is going on?” So, after I found that out, I would roll out, stretch, thank the Lord and I could feel my chest pop back in place. Painful at first, but it got better with time.

As I said, physically, I kept feeling worse in my abdominal area. In March 2014, I was bloated, couldn’t have a regular bowel movement, felt nauseated and my back was in constant pain; I had gotten use to my morning chest stretches by then, they were nothing in comparison to everything else.With the lifting and positioning of my son I thought that might have contributed to some of the problems I was having. So I made an appointment with my doctor and had a full day of testing. The blood work, CT scan, bone density test, x-rays showed I had a mass in my liver, however the blood work tested negative for cancer cells.

Listen to your body and react. If something doesn’t feel normal, then something is probably not right.

In April 2014, the testing from March was not good enough so I was sent to KU medical center for a MRI and blood test. The MRI and blood test came back positive for inoperable Cholangiocarcinoma (cancer of the liver). For the next few months I was in a doctor's office or getting a scan or a biopsy every other week.

Flashback: In 1975, while a senior in High School, there was a pea size lump

found in my beast, the doctor scheduled me for a biopsy. For the week prior to

my biopsy I went to work with my Mom, who was working at a nursing home at

night. There was a nurse assistant working with her named Maria. Maria would

pray with me every night during the shift that on the day of my biopsy everything

would be alright.

The day of the biopsy: I was given all of the pre medicine and prepared for

the procedure when the doctor decided to recheck the marked the area. With my Mom and Aunt standing there. He looked at them and said “Let me check the other breast, maybe they marked the wrong one. I don’t find anything abnormal

in either breast. I’m not sure what happened, you may take her home”. There has not been anything found in my breast to this day.

Just wanted you to know why my doctor was concerned about cancer, also my dad at the age of 89 had passed with prostate cancer.
