LETS SEE WHERE DO I START? ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I STARTED HAVING STOMACH PROBLEMS WHERE I WOULD HAVING BAD ABDOMEN PAIN AND I WOULD THROW UP AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD ANYTHING IN . NOT EVEN WATER. I MUST HAVE BEEN TO THE ARROWHEAD ER AT LEAST 15 TIMES AT ONE POINT I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD PANCREATITIS . EACH TIME I WENT IN THEY WOULD GIVE ME PAIN MEDS AND NAUSEA MEDS AND SEND ME HOME. I WOULD BEG THEM AND TELL THEM THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG. I HAD NO INSURANCE SO I THINK THAT THEY GOT RID OF ME AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. IN MAY OF 2008 I WAS PUT ON ACHHCS AND I WENT TO SEE A NEW FAMILY DOCTOR. DR JOHN MONROE HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS WEIRD THAT I HAD SUCH A SORE ABDOMEN . HE ORDERED TESTS BUT I GOT BETTER AND RAN OUT OF TIME AND I THOUGHT THERE JUST GONNA TELL ME THE SAME THING. WHEN I GOT SICK AGAIN MY DR TOLD ME THAT BEING THAT PAINFUL WAS NOT NORMAL. SO ONCE AGAIN HE ORDERED MORE TESTS. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF I GOT SICK AGAIN THAT I NEEDED TO GO TO BANNER AT ESTRELLA . YOU SEE I HAD GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I WAS ALMOST USED TO THE PAIN AND THE THROWING UO. THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 12 , I HAD BEEN FEELING REALLY BAD ON THAT TUESDAY I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I GOT REALLY SICK I ALMOST PASSED OUT WHILE DRIVING , I PULLED OVER AND ONCE AGAIN I BEGAN THROWING UP. I MADE IT TO WORK BUT I WAS PRETTY MUCH SICK THE WHOLE WEEK ON MONDAY I BEGAN THROWING UP AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I THREW UP BLOOD AND THAT REALLY GOT ME SCARED. ALSO THE PAIN IN MY RIGHT SIDE UNDER MY RIB CAGE WAS REALLY UNBEARABLE . I WENT TO MY PARENTS HOUSE AND I EXPLAINED TO MY MOM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND SHE SAID YOU NEED TO GO TO THE ER . I HAD REMEMBERED WHAT MY DOCTOR HAD SAID ABOUT ESTRELLA AND ON THE WAY THERE I PRAYED PLEASE GOD LET THEM FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. I WENT IN TO ESTRELLA BANNER ON TUESDAY ,OCTOBER 21,2008 AT AROUNG 1 PM I WALKED INTO THE ER IT WAS REALLY BUSY . THEY CHECKED ME IN I WENT BACK TO THIS ROOM WHERE A DOCTOR CAME IN AND SAID YOU ARE HAVING ABDOMEN PAIN AND THROWING UP AND THE OTHER END BLOOD ? I SAID YES AND TOLD HIM ABOUT ALL MY TRIPS TO THE ER AND THAT I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD PANCREATITIS. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE GONNA START AN IV AND THAT THEY WERE GONNA DO SOME TEST THE FIRST TEST THEY DID WAS AN ULTRASOUND. AS THE TECH WAS DOING THE ULTRASOUND I COULD TELL SHE SAW SOMETHING BUT THEY WONT TELL U A DARN THING. AFTER THE ULTRASOUND I WENT INTO ANOTHER ROOM WITH ABOUT 15 OTHER PATIENTS WAITING TO BE SEEN. AS I WAS WAITING THE NURSE GAVE ME PAIN MEDS AND NAUSEA MEDS AND A HUGE BOTTLE OF WHAT LOOKED LIKE DIRTY WATER AND SHE SAID YOU HAVE TO DRINK THIS OVER TWO HOURS IT IS NOW 4 U MUST DRINK THE WHOLE THING BY SIX ONLY HALF CAN BE GONE BY 5. THIS WAS FOR A CAT SCAN. I WENT FOR A CAT SCAN AND THEN I WENT TO A ROOM WHERE AT ABOUT 6:45PM A DOCTOR CAME IN THE ROOM AND SAID MRS. HEDSTROM I SAID YES AND HE SAID YOU R CAT SCAN SHOWS THAT YOU HAVE SEVERAL LIVER LESIONS AND THEY ARE MOST LIKELY CANCEROUS THERE WILL BE A NURSE THAT WILL BE COMING TO GET YOU TO BRING YOU UP TO ICU YOUR BEING ADMITTED YOU ARE VERY SICK AND YOU ARE GONNA BE HERE A WHILE. YOU KNOW YOPU CAN ASK ME ANY OTHER OF THE DOCTORS NAME THAT CAME TO TALK TO ME BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE NAME OF THAT DOCTOR WAS . AFTER I WAS BROUGHT UP TO ICU THE NURSE CAME IN AND TOLD ME THAT I REALLY NEEDED TO GET MY FAMILY DOWN TO BE WITH ME AND THAT SHE WAS SO SORRY THAT I HAD THIS SO YOUNG. THAT NIGHT I WAS VISITED BY DR. RODRIGUEZ THE GASTERNOLOGIST, DR. GLADDING THE SURGEON AND DR. ZAFFAR THE ONCOLOGIST. DR. R SAID THAT I NEEDED A COLONOSCOPY SO ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 23,2008 I HAD A COLONOSCOPY WHERE THE NEWS WAS NOT GOOD HE FOUND OVER 35 POLYPS IN ONE SECTION OF MY COLON SOME WERE THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS. HE DID A BIOPSY AND WHAT HE TOOK WAS PERCANCEROUS. THEN ON OCTOBER, 25 2008 HE DID THE UPPER GI THANK GOD THAT CAME BACK CLEAR. THEN ON MONDAY OCTOBER 27, THEY DID A LIVER BIOPSY WHICH CAME BACK POSOTIVE WITH COLON CANCER. THERE IT WAS IT WAS CONFIRMED I HAD CANCER AND NOT JUST A LITTLE CASE I WAS STAGE 4! WHAT HAPPENED TO 1,2,3 DID I MISS SOMETHING? NO I DIDNT SOMEONE ELSE DID AFTER ALL I HAD BEEN SICK FOR TWO YEARS AND
