Update
Well, it has been a while since my last post, I know. But, I seriously forgot to write this update. It turns out that everything might be o.k., soon. I will have the tumours removed, soon. I also was told about two in my stomache, recently. I have been tested for and have been diagnosed as having gastroparesis, a condition that is of paralysis of the stomache, and digestive system. Gastric pacemaker implantation surgery is the best option for me. A Gastric Bypass will be done. And then, later on, the doctors will handle the tumours. So, I am happy about that. One minor problem with that is that they will have to get my insurance's authorisation code for the surgical consult on this surgery for the implantation of the gastric pacemaker. And I am not sure that my insurance will cover it (this surgery consult about the surgery) since they won't cover the surgery itself. But, I await the call for the set up of the date and time of the consult on the surgery and what all it will entail since they now have my GI doctor's referral for this. I remain optimistic, though, cus my GI doctor I've gone back to who is NOT of the Tampa General Specialty Clinic, he's really trying to help me, as is his friend who is a surgeon who will be helping doing the surgery for me for free since my insurance won't cover it. And if he can get a way to get this done, I believe that he will. He seems caring and considerate of his patients, truly. I also remain optimistic because I have to remain this way, or I otherwise could give up. And I don't want to give up. Also, I remain optimistic or at least positive, in life, sometimes, cus of my friends. I think that if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be continuing on as strongly as I am now doing, emotionally. Thanks, everyone. :) I do appreciate the support. :) Hugs, all.
