Guest guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Tess- what a beautiful lullaby. Did you write that yourself? I sounds like something that you would write. You have so much talent girl.I am asking prayer from the group I went for an abdominal ultrasound and the ultrasound showed fluid in the abdomen.(Ascites) The Doc does not know exactly where the fluid is coming from.or what it is doing there. I am to have paracentesis guided by ultrasound on 12 Sept. (long needle to drain the fluid out ) They will send the fluid to the lab for analysis. It could be several things none of them good some fixable some not but the worst would be cancer. I think the main source of the fluid is my liver.I was stuck by a needle as a young nurse in the USAF Nurse Corps and had a rather bad episode of Hep B then. (This was way before they had developed the Hep B vaccine that all health care workers take now)I was told 25 years ago that I had a >50 percent chance of developing liver cancer in later life.I have an awful feeling that the other shoe has dropped as the saying goes. So- this is why I ask for your prayers. Love to all-y'all have become dearer to me than some of my real family. Louise in Alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
