Bless your Heart . I know how terrifying that kind of fear can be. When

I was 26 my Dr. thought he had felt a growth or what he called a mass in my

left breast. I had to have a mammogram (my mother had breast cancer) and I

had to wait 2 weeks for the results on that, I just about lost my mind, so

from the bottom of my heart I'm sorry for what you had to go through. I wish

you luck on your upcoming surgery and you'll be in my prayers for the surgery

to go well and your liver to be fine!!!! God Speed!!!!!!!!!
