And now the gall bladder

My gall bladder is a very special organ to me. It is the reason we found the lymphoma when we did. I was in Sacramento when I had a terrible gall bladder attack in the middle of the night. For an hour I was writhing in excruciating pain. Then it stopped. I decided to go home to Escondido and see the surgeon I saw after my first attack. Except for this incident I felt perfectly healthy. Even though my body was riddled with cancer. Everything was in place to set up surgery to remove my gall bladder. When she began to examine me she found the mass that turned out to be a grapefruit sized cancer as a part of the lymphoma throughout my body. She immediately set me up for a CT scan and the cancer was diagnosed. The gall bladder was put on the back burner while the cancer was dealt with. When my doctor told me last week that I was free of cancer, the very next thing he said was, 'Get your gall bladder out'. So Im not quite through with the medical community.  I see my surgeon tomorrow. Her name is Dr Day. She saved my life by finding the cancer and urgently pushing me through the diagnostic process. I called her a few weeks ago and thanked her. I intend to thank her again. Im assuming we will set up the surgery as soon as possible. Just one more milestone in this incredible year.
