I have to give you a little background. About a month or so ago I started having trouble swallowing things then a few weeks later everytime I ate something I would feel sick so I figured I ate something my body did not like.... until I threw up blood and decided it was time to go to the doctor. My doctor ran blood tests and told me he wanted me to get an ultrasound on my galbladder and my throat scope (egd).
Later that day I was so sick I could not even keep down water so.I called my parents and said I am going to the ER. They checked my blood ran an IV to get fluids in me.. got a chest x-ray and checked for a UTI and sent me home with another refferal to get an EGD...
The next day I called Dr. Al and made an appointment for the EGD and later got my ultrasound.. which later came back negative. During the week waiting for my EGD I found out all my tests were negative.
I finally went to the hospital on a Monday and got MY EGD done and when I woke up I was informed there was abnormal tissue that they took a biopsey from and he wanted me to get a CT with contrast before I left.
I went home thinking how strange I wonder what is going on.. on Tuesday they said my CT came up negative!!! I was relieved... until Wednesday morning I received a call saying Dr. Al wanted me in his office that day... I calmly said yes and hung up the phone and called my mom and dad freaked out cause everyone knows that doctors only call you in for bad news!!!
My mom took me to my appointment the doctor was looking at the paperwork and said there was aproblem.. he found a mass it was CANCER... the room began to pulse and it was hard to hear... he told me it was either esophigal or stomach cancer... I said ok at least I will loose weight.. and was sent out to set up 3 more appointments for another EGD with ultrasound..a surgon and an oncologist.. I started crying and held my moms hand!!!
