World Cancer Day 2020

It’s World Cancer Day, and I am ecstatic to announce that I am still cancer-free! Doctor called with the biopsy results late yesterday. The mass is not a met of RCC and doesn’t appear to be a malignancy at all. Whoop whoop!!  I have to follow up with a GI doc to determine what exactly it is and what to do about it. Dr Klingler mentioned a lot of words, and I remember hearing that it has a high risk of hemorrhage but basically, it’s an abnormal growth of liver cells - more specifically a hepatocellular adenoma.  I’ll see GI on February 18th and the 25th and will know more then. 

For now... Praise Jesus! 

I’ve been so stressed out this past month and a half over all of this, but kept myself busy. I worked today, but caught myself becoming so emotional just thinking about how truly blessed I am. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. 

January 2020

It’s been a busy month! I took - AND PASSED- the NCLEX-RN. Woohoo! I was too scared to even schedule it, then jumped in and took it two days later in Lincoln. I drove up and stayed at mom and dad’s the night before. It was so nice and quiet. 

KUMed FINALLY called me yesterday. The liver biopsy is scheduled for Monday, the 27th. Should have results within 3-5 business days, but I’m not going to hold my breath on that....it took three weeks to call me and schedule the procedure, when it shouldn’t have taken more than 3 days.  So, say a little prayer for me on Monday - and for little to no discomfort afterwards since I am scheduled to work Tuesday through Thursday.
