BESSIE`BIO
I am Bessie and I am 55 years old.Three years I became very ill over a period
of six months.I was babysitting my grand children and planning an early
retirement from my factory job of 30 years when I started having diareah.At
first it was a relief because I had to spend so much time fighting
constipation which my doc thot was caused by blood pressure meds.That was in
August.By April of 2000 I was unable to move a muscle .My potassium levels
was so low three docs thot I should haved died.It was not till I went to
hospital on a Sat. in July that they were checking my gallbladder which was
so big [ like the size of a football] they quit looking at that and went to
my liver which had so many lesions.they knew I had cancer within an hour but
they did not know what kind.Or how widespread it was.Until Mayo! thank God I
went there.Now I live a good life and quit worrying so much!!In fact my
husband and take turns every twelve hours worrying about whatever needs to be
worried about.By the way my docs were more concerned about him than myself.So
if you have islet cell cancer make sure you get a good doctor who has treated
it .They most doctors will not see this in their lifetime.I am very wll
advanced in this thing but I am doing good.FOR NOW!!!!
