Remembering My Dad

Jeeyoung, we should get together with Angie as she lives in Glendale. I talked with her once and she sounded like a lovely lady. She also has a Sister who posted a few times. I know you would all like each other as much as I like you all!

Hello Angie, it is so good to see you and I am so very sorry for all you have been going through. That is so strange about your cancer surgery! The same thing happened to me. One year before Teddy passed I had surgery for a GIST Tumor. It is very rare and you don’t know you have it until late. It was 10 CM and on the other side of the intestines I had a benign Mass that was 12 CM. I was too busy thinking about Teddy and his CC that I didn’t give myself a thought and never have. In fact I go for my 6 month CT this Friday. There is no cure just remission and if it returns more surgery then a Chemo pill called Gleevac and its not pleasant. But now that I am almost at my 4th year of being clear, I only have 1 more year of CT’s every 6 months. Then I think it’s once a year. I do know where you are coming from as after T passed I got the Ulcerative Colitis and have been sick ever since. Now with this I do have my pity parties. They don’t last long but I think we get more down because we go through these things alone so to speak. I wish Teddy was here, our 19th Anniversary would have been this Wed. and I think you would like to lean on your Dad as well.
On the Gall Bladder causing discomfort, had mine out and no problems but I know of people who have what you do. Have you talked to your Doc about it as there is a pill you can take to help balance things out. Sorry, cannot think of the name but I know someone will.
I just meet Jeeyoung and would still love to meet you! Please ask your Doc about this pill. I think it’s some kind of digestive thing. No reason to be suffering!
