On Monday night my wife started complaining that she didn't feel well. Every time she ate something her stomach would get upset. She complained about pain in her side and stomach.
I told her to go to the doctor on Tuesday and she called around but couldn't get an appointment with a general practitioner for a month. She ended up booking an appointment with a gastro for next week.
Last night I noticed that she looked a bit yellow in her complexion, even more than usual, because she's half Thai. I pushed her and finally got her to go to an urgent care clinic today.
They did some tests there, then they decided that she had jaundice and wanted her to go to the hospital for a CT scan.
She went to the hospital around lunch today and finally got her scan and x-ray about an hour ago. It turns out that she has a "mass" on her pancreas. They've admitted her and are going to try to at least get a piece of the mass to figure out what it is and do a biopsy.
Right now, I could really use some prayers. I'm really hoping that it's just some sort of benign growth they can remove.
This year really needs to end.
