Biopsy Results
| Back when all of this started, I had an exploratory surgery of my abdomen to look for any signs that the cancer had spread. Thankfully it had not and was still in stage two. But, the surgeon did find a very small growth on the outside of my stomach that he removed and sent in for analysis. He did not think it was cancerous, but the lab results showed it may be. So, he sent the biopsy off to the Mayo Clinic. They determined it wasn't cancer, but since there were now two conflicting results, it was sent to the University of Michigan and was determined to be a rare form of cancer. Luckily this was discovered in stage one, was about the size of a period, and was removed. If it had not been discovered it wouldn't have shown any signs until it penetrated the stomach wall, and by that time, would have spread throughout my abdomen. So, now I'm looking at my esophageal cancer as possibly being a life saving illness; a blessing in disguise. |

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
