I can have a glass of wine tonight, and go for my infusion tomorrow!

I also get a set of brain MRI's tomorrow, and the facility is right by the neuro's office, so I'll have the results at my appointment. Wow. I had myself worked up, worrying about pancreatic cancer and other such nightmares.
Yay Wiz!!! Have a glass of wine for me too!

I was suspicious of inflammation of the gallbladder but I ain't a gastro doc. I brought in quite a few patients with gall bladder attacks and it ain't pretty when it's inflamed. Do you have the pain after eating fats? Also please ask your gastro doc to test for h. pylori if he hasn't already. It would suck if it was something as simple as that, after all the worrying you have been through, and it's a simple breath/saliva test depending on which one he uses.
